Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment (SCREMS)

这个项目是数学科学计划科学计算研究设备活动补助金下的一项设备赠款。该项目涉及购买专门用于支持数学科学研究的特殊用途设备。一般来说，这种设备是几个研究项目共同需要的，很难单独在一个项目上证明是合理的。来自国家科学基金会的这项研究设备支持，加上制造商提供的设备折扣和捐款，以及提交机构的重大费用分摊。该项目为大学、产业界和政府合作支持数学科学的基础研究提供了一个很好的范例。该项目中的设备将用于数论和组合学、统计力学、偏微分方程组、控制和优化、涂层边界上的波吸收和反射、雷云和闪电的模拟、非线性波动、自由边界问题、粘性流动以及实验数据的收集和处理等方面的研究。

This project is an equipment grant under the activity Grants For Scientific Computing Research Equipment For The Mathematical Sciences program. The project involves the purchase of special purpose equipment dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. In general, this equipment is required jointly by several research projects and would be difficult to justify on one project alone. This research equipment support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions of equipment from manufacturers and significant cost-sharing from the submitting institution. This project provides a good example of university, industrial, and government cooperation in the support of basic research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment in this project will be used to conduct research in number theory and combinatorics, statistical mechanics, partial differential equations, control and optimization, wave absorption and reflection at coated boundaries, modelling of thunderclouds and lightning, nonlinear wave motion, free-boundary problems, viscous flows, and the collection and processing of experimental data.
