- This $600,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund collaborative research between the University of South Florida and Princeton University from July 2022 to June 2025. The research aims to establish a predictive theoretical understanding of nanoscale gradients in rheological response at interfaces in glass-forming fluids. Specifically, the grant will support experiments to observe fluid flow and deformation at the nanometer scale,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $456,872 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Illinois to conduct research on the role of complex fluids in the flow and instabilities of particle-laden liquids. The project aims to improve the understanding of particle behavior and flow characteristics in complex fluid environments, with applications in areas such as microfluidic devices, inkjet printing, and enhanced oil recovery. The research combines...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Cornell University to advance simulations of gas-liquid mixtures, especially when they break apart into small droplets or bubbles and when small droplets or bubbles come together. This multi-year (August 1, 2025 - July 31, 2028) research project aims to develop new ways to represent and model fine details of fluid behavior, resulting in more accurate simulations without requiring...
- This $230,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to advance the understanding of how soft, deformable particles such as oil droplets and cells move through complex environments. The Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) at the City College campus is leading this collaborative research project, which combines carefully designed experiments with advanced computer simulations. The goal is to develop...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $230,000 to Yale University aims to advance the understanding of how soft, deformable particles such as oil droplets and cells move through complex environments consisting of narrow constrictions and obstacles. The research will combine carefully designed experiments and advanced computer simulations to develop predictive models for the flow and interaction of deformable particles with their...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems provides $385,000 in funding to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University, for their proposed research titled "ANALYSIS AND OPTICAL CONTROL OF SURFACTANT EFFECTS FOR INCREASED LUBRICATION OF LIQUID FLOWS IN THE CASSIE STATE." The research aims to analyze and optically control the effects of surfactants to increase lubrication of liquid...
This $359,641 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Stony Brook University to investigate spontaneous emulsification phenomena in microchannels. Specifically, the award will fund an integrated teaching and research program to study the influence of miscible solvents like alcohols on multiphase liquid-liquid flows and develop new predictive models. Using advanced microfluidic techniques, the researchers will systematically characterize interfacial phenomena leading to colloidal dispersions across wide ranges of length and time scales. They will map functional relationships between material properties and flow patterns for water-in-oil and oil-in-water configurations over a broad scope of solvent concentrations. Ultimately, the work aims to establish a general theoretical framework characterizing the role of liquid solubility in governing multiphase flow fundamentals. Funded through the NSF Engineering Directorate's $47.041 million program, this three-year project grant commenced September 1, 2022 to further the statutory mission of improving engineering innovation and education.
