The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $296,983 on September 1, 2026, to develop a unified, open-source, high-performance simulation framework for multiphysics spray modeling under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project unifies advanced spray-simulation capabilities currently scattered across separate tools into a single framework with an embedded artificial intelligence assistant designed to lower expertise barriers and reduce simulation setup time from weeks to hours. The work addresses predictive spray modeling across fuel injection, medicine delivery, painting and coating processes, and powder manufacturing applications. Work is performed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a period of performance through August 31, 2029. The project also develops the workforce through undergraduate and graduate course modules and workshops at professional conferences on liquid atomization and spray systems.
