Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions require innovative and technologically viable solutions to be developed. Technology holds the greatest potential to help society address the challenges of designing energy efficient concepts at affordable prices. Among the wide envelope of factors, one core characteristic relevant to this proposal is the occurrence of multiphase flows, which are ubiquitous in nature and industry. For example, hydraulic turbomachines, ship propeller systems, and e-fuel injectors are compromised by the occurrence of catastrophic cavitation. In the field of power generation, boiling heat transfer is the predominant energy conversion method. Multiphase flows for immiscible fluids seem to hold the key to the efficient design of emerging electrification technologies of the transport sector, such as battery thermal management systems and Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells for innovative aviation propulsion systems, as well as in the design of energy efficient marine vessels. Optimisation methods for designing efficient systems are largely missing from the relevant technological sectors. MFLOPS aspires to develop coupled multiphase flow and optimisation methods, including adjoint methods, and apply them to cases specified by MFLOPS's non-academic beneficiaries and partners. This coupling of research with industry makes MFLOPS a truly innovative network for Doctoral researchers to start their career. A holistic training is provided by scientists and industry leaders to facilitate the accomplishment of the scientific tasks and to apply them to industrial practice. Additional networking, transferable skills and rigorous scientific training on the relevant topics make MFLOPS awell-connected cohort of future leaders with the ability to communicate across disciplines, aiming to support European industries,while been heavily involved in the public mandate for global CO2 reduction.

减少二氧化碳排放的努力需要开发创新和技术上可行的解决方案。技术具有最大的潜力，可以帮助社会以负担得起的价格设计高效概念的挑战。在广泛的因素中，与该提议相关的一个核心特征是多相流的发生，这些流量在自然界和工业上都是无处不在的。例如，由于发生灾难性的空化，液压涡轮机，船舶螺旋桨系统和电子燃料注射器受到损害。在发电领域，沸腾的传热是主要的能量转换方法。不混溶的流体的多相流似乎是运输部门新兴电气化技术的有效设计的关键，例如电池热管理系统和质子交换膜燃料电池，用于创新的航空推进系统，以及能源有效的海洋船只的设计。设计有效系统的优化方法在很大程度上缺少相关的技术领域。 MFLOPS渴望开发耦合的多相流和优化方法，包括伴随方法，并将其应用于MFLOPS非学术受益人和合作伙伴指定的情况。与行业的研究结合使MFLOPS成为博士研究人员开始职业的真正创新网络。科学家和行业领导者提供了整体培训，以促进科学任务的完成并将其应用于工业实践。有关相关主题的其他网络，可转移技能和严格的科学培训使MFLOPS与未来的领导者相关的队列具有跨学科交流的能力，旨在支持欧洲行业，同时又大量参与了全球CO2减少的公共任务。
