Research

The focus of our research is on the fluid mechanics of multiphase flows, with a specific interest in spray atomization and in improving the process efficiency of industrial sprays of complex fluids. Our research aims to develop analytical tools and novel technologies that allow for real-time control of these highly variable processes. To accomplish these goals, we use experimental and theoretical approaches to develop the fundamental understanding of multiphase fluid flows, such as atomization. This research is important to various industrial applications, such as oil-sands wastewater treatment, agricultural sprays, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, as it will ensure optimal process performance to reduce waste.

Topics of interest (associated fundamental research):

  • Spray-freezing for wastewater treatment (atomization of suspensions and emulsions)
  • Enhancement of snow making (atomization of suspensions)
  • Reducing "drift" in pesticide sprays (atomization of emulsions and visco-elastic fluids)
  • Spray-drying for particle manufacturing in pharmaceuticals and consumer goods (atomization of suspensions, emulsions, and visco-elastic fluids)
