Welcome to the Center for Multiphase Flow Research and Education
Multiphase flows are defined as a dispersed phase surrounded by a continuous fluid phase. These fluid systems play a fundamental role in numerous fields, each comprising several multi-billion-dollar industries. Examples of applications include:
- Petroleum and biorenewable fuel and chemical production
- Energy generation
- Materials processing and manufacturing
- Pharmaceutical production
- Food processing
- Consumer product manufacturing
- Concrete production
CoMFRE provides a forum for integration of the activities and skill-sets of multiple ISU investigators with external collaborators from academia, industry and national laboratories to accelerate knowledge transfer from fundamental scientific advances in multiphase flow to industrial applications and end-users.
