Vision
Accelerate research, education and training in multi-phase fluid engineering science and to develop a diverse STEM workforce by creating an international collaborative network of scientists and advanced research tools that catalyzes scientific research and education.
Our Major Objectives
Science
Advance knowledge and make transformative scientific discoveries in multiphase fluids research by elucidating molecular and interfacial phenomena and controlling their effects on macroscopic transport processes to improve energy and process efficiency in industrial systems on a global scale.
Education
Accelerate education and training of students and early career researchers by supporting excellence and providing unique opportunities to participate in substantive international research experiences, taking advantage of the scope, scale, expertise, and facilities of the proposed PIRE network
Collaboration
Share resources and research infrastructure within and across institutions to build strong international partnerships and enable research advances in multi-phase fluids that could not occur otherwise.
One of PIRE Project goals is to share resources and research infrastructure within and across institutions to build strong international partnerships and enable research advances in multi-phase fluids.
