In situ Detection and Characterization of microplastics in the ocean—model building
FY 2024-25 · 2024-09-01
Summary
The project focuses on developing numerical models (computational fluid mechanics and acoustophoresis) to predict the dynamics of plastic particles in water in the presence of acoustic forcing. The models to be developed as part of the project will identify and quantify the impact of acoustic forcing on the trajectory of microplastics in a confined environment, in order to control their trajectory under a wide range of conditions (temperature, current velocity, etc.). The model developed will then be validated in the laboratory by both the NRC and Polytechnique Montréal. The resulting tools will help the NRC design an instrument capable of controlling the movement of plastic particles and then measuring their size.

Description (French)
Le Projet vise à développer des modèles numériques (mécanique des fluides numérique et acoustophorèse) permettant de prédire la dynamique de particules de plastique dans l’eau en présence d’un forçage acoustique. Les modèles développés dans le cadre du Projet permettront d'identifier et de quantifier l’impact d’un forçage acoustique sur la trajectoire de microplastique dans un milieu confiné afin de contrôler leur trajectoire dans un large éventail de condition (température, vitesse du courant, etc.). Le modèle développé sera ensuite validé en laboratoire conjointement par le CRNC et Polytechnique Montréal. Les outils développés dans ce Projet permettront au CNRC de concevoir un instrument capable de contrôler le mouvement des particules de plastiques pour ensuite en mesurer la taille.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
