The '''Multiphase Flow Science Tools''' program, spearheaded by the [[National Energy Technology Laboratory]] (NETL) under the Department of Energy, is a long-standing effort initiated in the 1980s to create a suite of simulation-based engineering tools and experimental resources for multiphase flow research. Centered around its flagship open-source software, MFiX (Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges), it supports over 7,000 registered users worldwide with tools like MFiX-TFM, MFiX-DEM, MFiX-PIC, and MFiX-Exa, alongside experimental facilities like the [[Multiphase Flow Analysis Laboratory]], addressing complex flows in fossil energy, carbon capture, and environmental remediation.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://mfix.netl.doe.gov |title=NETL Multiphase Flow Science |publisher=National Energy Technology Laboratory}}</ref> 

With over three decades of development, it has evolved to include exascale-ready codes and AI-enhanced tools, notably with the MFiX 24.4 release in 2024, reinforcing its role in advancing next-generation energy systems.
