Combustion and Fire Systems (347509)

National Science Foundation (NSF)

Deadline: Rolling

Grant amount: Up to US $4,654,000

Funding uses: Research

Location of project: United States

Location of residency: United States

Overview:

NOTE: Proposals for this program will be accepted throughout the year.

The Combustion and Fire Systems program is part of the Transport Phenomena cluster, which also includes

• the Fluid Dynamics program;
• the Particulate and Multiphase Processes program; and
• theThermal Transport Processes program.

The goal of the Combustion and Fire Systems program is to create new knowledge to support advances in clean energy, climate change mitigation, a cleaner environment and public safety. The program endeavors to create fundamental scientific knowledge that is needed for safe, clean and useful combustion applications and for mitigating the effects of fire. The program aims to identify and understand the controlling basic principles and to use that knowledge to create predictive capabilities for designing and optimizing practical combustion devices and understanding fire. Important outcomes for this program include: broad-based tools — experimental, theoretical, and computational — that can be applied to a variety of problems in combustion technologies and fire; science and technology for clean and efficient generation of power; discoveries that enable clean environments (for example, by reduction in combustion-generated pollutants); and enhanced public safety and climate change mitigation through research on wild and and building fire growth, inhibition, and suppression.
