Control Prediction and LeaRning in Mixing processes

Projektbeschreibung

Neue Visionen und Werkzeugkästen für das Mischen

Von der molekularen bis zur planetaren Ebene: Mischen ist ein unvermeidliches Phänomen, egal, ob es um menschliche oder natürliche Aktivitäten geht. Es beschreibt die Entwicklung der Konzentration einer Substanz in einem Kontinuumsubstrat, das sich möglicherweise verformt. Dabei entstehen prädiktive Ansätze, welche die vielen Facetten der Dynamik des Mischens innerhalb eines breiten Spektrums von Anwendungen und Bereichen berücksichtigen. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt CoPerMix wird eine neue Generation der sich für Wissenschaft und Technik begeisternden jungen Menschen ausbilden, damit sie mit neuen Visionen und Werkzeugkästen für das Mischen ausgestattet werden, um dem zunehmenden Erfordernis zu entsprechen, Mischprozesse in Umwelt- und Industrieanwendungen verstehen und vorhersagen zu können.

Ziel

Mixing is the science describing the evolution of the concentration of a substance (tracers, chemicals, heat, bacteria...) in a
continuum substrate that is possibly deforming. It is also a necessary process or phenomenon taking place at each scales,
from molecular to planetary, in all non-equilibrium human and natural activities. Most approaches to mixing used in science
and engineering are based on mean field approaches or phenomenological mixing models , which focus on dynamics
through effective coefficients such as mixing micro-scales, diffusivities, or on purely descriptive characterization of mixing
through entropy measures for example. A predictive approaches that account for the many facets of the dynamics of mixing
in a broad variety of applications and fields is however emerging: It consists in visualizing a mixture as a set of elongated
stripes and sheets, understand how they are stretched and dispersed by the flow, a step we call Stirring. This first step
provides the necessary tools to couple molecular diffusion, leading to the complete statistical description of the mixing
process i.e. the full concentration distribution. In that sense and as opposed to traditional approaches, this disruptive vision
has prompted new numerical and experimental methods and offers a transformative vision for Mixing to envisage its Impact
in a diversity of fields and Learn from the stirring medium itself. A new generation of scientists and engineers is required that
is aware of these fundamental issues and equipped with new visions and tool sets for mixing in order to address the
increasing need of understanding and predicting mixing processes in environmental and industrial applications. The
CoPerMix training network proposes to address this challenge by setting up an innovative and entrepreneurial training
programme that renews drastically the methods and approaches to the subject and incorporates this strategic new vision of
Mixing in prominent academic curricula.
