Particulate and Multiphase Processes (347325)

National Science Foundation (NSF)

Deadline: Rolling

Grant amount: Up to US $8,285,000

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 Particulate and Multiphase Processes program is part of the Transport Phenomena cluster, which also includes:

• the Combustion and Fire Systems program; 
• the Fluid Dynamics program; and 
• the Thermal Transport Processes program.

The goal of theParticulate and Multiphase Processes program is to support fundamental research on physico-chemical phenomena that govern particulate and multiphase systems, including flow of suspensions, drops and bubbles, granular and granular-fluid flows, behavior of micro- and nanostructured fluids, unique characteristics of active fluids, and self assembly/directed-assembly processes that involve particulates.The program encourages transformative research to improve our basic understanding of particulate and multiphase processes with emphasis on research that demonstrates how particle-scale phenomena affect the behavior and dynamics of larger-scale systems.Although proposed research should focus on fundamentals, a clear vision is required that anticipates how results could benefit important applications in advanced manufacturing, energy harvesting, transport in biological systems, biotechnology, or environmental sustainability.Collaborative and interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged, especially those that involve a combination of experiment with theory and/or modeling.
