About this award
University of California, Irvine (UCI) received a $200,000 research grant awarded on November 23, 2021, by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center, with performance completion targeted for January 19, 2027. The contract focuses on comprehensively simulating the behavior of small diffusion flames under externally applied electric fields in zero-gravity environments. The research employs detailed modeling that incorporates the chemistry of charged ions and chemiluminescent flame intermediates to capture combustion behavior in microgravity conditions. This grant represents UCI's continued engagement in advanced research and development, building on the university's substantial portfolio of aerospace and combustion-related research funded through federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation.
The award to UCI does not utilize a set-aside designation and is classified as a research grant with other pricing arrangements. Performance will be conducted at UCI's Irvine, California campus. As a prominent public research institution and Land Grant College with demonstrated expertise in combustion modeling, aerospace technologies, and materials science, UCI is well-positioned to execute this fundamental research in electric field-influenced flame dynamics. This research aligns with UCI's existing capabilities in engineering and physical sciences, contributing to broader understanding of combustion phenomena relevant to space exploration and advanced propulsion systems development.
