Description

The Particulate and Multiphase Processes program supports fundamental research on physico-chemical phenomena governing particulate and multiphase systems, including flow of suspensions, drops and bubbles, granular flows, and behavior of micro- and nanostructured fluids. The program encourages transformative research focusing on particle-scale phenomena and their effects on larger-scale systems, with potential applications in advanced manufacturing, energy harvesting, biotechnology, and environmental sustainability. Major research areas include multiphase flow phenomena, particle science and technology, multiphase transport in biological systems, and interfacial transport. Proposals should address novelty, importance in engineering science, and potential societal or industry impact, with typical awards supporting up to three years of research.
