Multiphase Transport Phenomena Curriculum Development

该奖项为密歇根州立大学提供资金，支持一个为期两年的联合研究-课程开发（CRCD）项目，名为“多相传输现象课程开发”，由Charles a . Petty博士指导。该项目的目标是在参与部门现有课程的基础上，开发和实施多相运输现象（MTP）的多机构课程。拟议的MTP课程借鉴了密歇根州立大学、阿克伦大学和塔尔萨大学九个实验室的研究成果。该项目的一个重要目标是为多相计算流体动力学（CFD）的实际应用提供培训。新课程将旨在1)训练来自不同工程背景的学生使用多相计算流体力学；2)向学生介绍用于验证多相输运模型的最新实验技术；3)教学生如何批判性地分析和解释CFD结果。

This award provides funding to Michigan State University for the support of a two year, Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) project entitled, "Multiphase Transport Phenomena Curriculum Development," under the direction of Dr. Charles A. Petty. The goal of this project is to develop and implement a multi-institutional curriculum on multiphase transport phenomena (MTP) that builds on the existing course offerings in the participating departments. The proposed MTP curriculum draws on the research accomplishments of nine laboratories at Michigan State University, the University of Akron, and the University of Tulsa. An important object of the project is to provide training on the practical use of multiphase computation fluid dynamics (CFD). The new curriculum will be designed to 1) train students from different engineering backgrounds in the use of multiphase computational fluid dynamics; 2) introduce students to state-of-the-art experimental techniques employed to validate multiphase transport models; and, 3) teach students how to critically analyze and interpret CFD results.
