About
NUEM (Núcleo de Escoamento Multifásico) is the Multiphase Flow Research Center of the Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR). It has a long-lasting record on research and development for the energy sector with continuous and growing funding from industry and government. The main research areas are in
- Multiphase Flow
- Flow Assurance
- Thermophysics of Fluids and
- Sensor Technology.
Research and development activities have been mainly developed by a multidisciplinary team coming from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments. Hence the traditionally multidisciplinary problems found in the industry are often tackled from complementary viewpoints. NUEM is also linked to the UTFPR’s Graduate Programs in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, being involved in the education and training of graduate students. Furthermore, the Center maintains a close collaboration with national and international institutions.
