Modelling of multiscale systems in engineering and science supports large-scale equation-free simulations and analysis. A persistent feature of complex systems in engineering and science is the emergence of macroscopic, coarse grained, coherent behaviour from the interactions of microscopic agents (molecules, cells) and with their environment.

A persistent feature of complex systems in engineering and science is the emergence of macroscopic, coarse grained, coherent behaviour from the interactions of microscopic agents (molecules, cells) and with their environment. In current modeling, ranging from ecology to materials science, the underlying microscopic mechanisms are known, but the closures to translate microscale knowledge to a system level macroscopic description are rarely available in closed form. Our novel, equation free, computational methodologies will circumvent this stumbling block, and promises to radically change the modeling, exploration and understanding of complex system behavior. We continue to develop this powerful computational methodology. Read moreRead less

Summary
A Laser Facility for Imaging the Time Evolution of Scalars in Turbulent Flows. Establishing this facility will maintain Australia's position at the international leading edge of research in energy, the environment, combustion, and fluid mechanics. The new diagnostics capabilities will advance science through projects that serve the first National Research Priority and assist industry in the design and development of clean combustion devices and energy efficient technologies. The new facility wil ....A Laser Facility for Imaging the Time Evolution of Scalars in Turbulent Flows. Establishing this facility will maintain Australia's position at the international leading edge of research in energy, the environment, combustion, and fluid mechanics. The new diagnostics capabilities will advance science through projects that serve the first National Research Priority and assist industry in the design and development of clean combustion devices and energy efficient technologies. The new facility will also be made available to researchers from non-participating institutions at operating costs and will provide the training platform for graduates from all Australian Universities. This will ensure the continuity of future research and developments in these and related fields in Australia.Read moreRead less

Summary
Advanced Laser Diagnostics in Dilute Heterogeneous Combustion. This proposal seeks to establish a state-of-the-art laser diagnostics facility with unique capabilities for non-intrusive measurements in dilute multi-phase flows. Such heterogeneous flows which involve stationary surfaces, disperse suspended droplets or suspended particles are found in many applications including engines, furnaces, industrial and chemical processing and micro-combustion devices. This facility will give Australian re ....Advanced Laser Diagnostics in Dilute Heterogeneous Combustion. This proposal seeks to establish a state-of-the-art laser diagnostics facility with unique capabilities for non-intrusive measurements in dilute multi-phase flows. Such heterogeneous flows which involve stationary surfaces, disperse suspended droplets or suspended particles are found in many applications including engines, furnaces, industrial and chemical processing and micro-combustion devices. This facility will give Australian researchers the unprecedented opportunity to perform measurements of flow, mixing, temperature and composition fields in the gas and liquid or solid phases simultaneously. The resulting data will advance current knowledge in these complex flows and lead to new and improved reactor designs.
