Transport Phenomena (TP)

The Transport Phenomena (TP) program supports fundamental research to understand, model, and control the transport of mass, momentum, energy, and species across multiple scales. Innovative TP research supports advances in artificial intelligence, manufacturing, biotechnology, microelectronics, energy generation, extraction, and utilization, and other national priorities. • The program encourages research on the dynamics of single- and multiphase systems, including flow separation, transition to turbulence, drag reduction, cavitation, instabilities, and reactive flows. • TP projects involve experiments, theory, and/or computational modeling and aim to improve understanding and create novel analytical techniques. • The program supports research on physicochemical phenomena at the interfaces between fluids and between fluids and solids. • Research may be across scales, in complex structures and at interfaces, in microelectronic devices, and in biological systems.
