The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded Cornell University $303,017 on September 1, 2026, to develop a unified, open-source simulation framework for multiphysics spray modeling under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project delivers a high-performance computational tool that integrates advanced spray simulation capabilities previously scattered across separate software tools accessible only to specialists. The framework incorporates an AI assistant that reduces setup time for realistic simulations from weeks to hours, lowering the expertise barrier for engineers and scientists across fuel injection, inhaler delivery, coating processes, and powder manufacturing applications. The work advances energy efficiency and emissions reduction in transportation and power generation, improves pharmaceutical and food manufacturing, and enhances American industrial competitiveness. The project also includes workforce development through undergraduate and graduate course modules and workshops at the leading professional conference for liquid atomization and spray systems. Work is performed at Ithaca, New York, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029.
