The University of Minnesota received $399,978 in Project Grant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029. This GOALI (Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry) award supports collaborative research between the University of Minnesota and Dow Chemical to advance liquid mixing efficiency in viscous fluids. The research team will employ fluid dynamics theory and experimental methods, including particle image velocimetry and laser diagnostics, to identify conditions that trigger effective mixing in low-speed flows of variable viscosity liquids. The primary deliverable is identification of globally unstable flow configurations in canonical round jets that enable turbulent scalar mixing at low Reynolds numbers, with findings intended to guide industrial process designers in reducing energy consumption associated with chemical mixing operations. In addition to core research outputs, the project will generate educational products through development of fluid dynamics teaching modules integrated into the University of Minnesota's Ambassadors Program, wherein mechanical engineering students will develop and conduct outreach camps for elementary-grade students. These dual products—fundamental scientific findings on viscous liquid mixing mechanisms and engineering education materials—are designed to support advancement in industrial mixing technology within advanced manufacturing sectors, while addressing the substantial energy consumption associated with viscous fluid mixing processes.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
