This federal contract award to Washington State University (WSU) funds research to develop a computational framework for modeling capillary flows in complex geometries. The $150,000 grant supports verification of computational models using experimental data from NASA's Capillary Flow Experiment aboard the International Space Station. The goal is to create a predictive model for multi-phase capillary flows that can be applied to various industrial and natural processes, such as soldering, de-icing, and polymer composite manufacturing. This work is relevant to NASA's interests in lightweight fluid transport systems for space missions. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university, WSU frequently receives federal funding for specialized research and services across disciplines like agriculture, energy, and STEM education.
