Flow Diagnostics Facility for Microstructured Systems

该项目将建立澳大利亚唯一的世界级设施，用于研究微结构组件中的稳定和波动流动，从而在微型设备中详细描述单相和多相流动的流动模式和速度。这些装置目前正由首席研究员在微反应器技术和化学过程强化、微机电系统（MEMS）和高效膜分离系统领域开发。新设施将使他们和其他人能够通过可视化和量化几微米尺度的流动行为来加强他们的研究。

This Project will establish Australia's only world-class facility for the interrogation of steady and fluctuating flows in microstructured components, enabling detailed characterisation of the flow patterns and velocities that occur in single phase and multiphase flows in miniature devices. Such devices are currently being developed by the Chief Investigators in the area of microreactor technology and chemical process intensification, in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and in high efficiency membrane separation systems. The new Facility will enable them and others to enhance their research through visualisation and quantification of flow behaviour at the scale of a few micrometres.
