Fellowships to the Third International School of Space Simulations

这笔赠款将部分支持15名学生和年轻研究人员参加将于1987年6月15日至27日在法国拉朗德-莱-毛雷尔和博留举行的第三届空间模拟国际学校。该学院将包括使用和开发模拟代码的教程，以及在计算机模拟的帮助下在空间等离子体物理学中进行的最新研究的介绍。该学院将特别有利于年轻的研究人员，既可以获得模拟方面的经验，也可以有机会与该领域的专家密切互动。由于欧洲和日本的科学家也将出席这次会议，因此获得研究金的人将能够与国际研究界建立重要的联系，这在将来应该会有相当大的好处。这项奖助金的主要目的是教育。前两所学校获得了NSF的巨大成功，并帮助美国在S/T模拟领域建立了卓越地位。第二个目标是高级代码开发。S/T环境的建模需要在实际地磁场几何中开发复杂的第三等离子体模拟代码。这是一个困难的问题，部分依赖于数值技术的进步，例如自适应网格。最后，这一努力将导致S/T系统建模的进步。

This grant will provide partial support for fifteen students and young researchers to attend the Third International School for Space Simulations to be held in La Londe-les-Maures and Beaulieu, France from June 15 to 27, 1987. The school will include both tutorials on the use and development of simulation codes and presentations of the most recent research carried out in space plasma physics with the aid of computer simulations. The school will be of particular benefit for young researchers, both in terms of gaining experience in simulations, and in the opportunity to interact closely with experts in the filed. Since the meeting will also be attended by European and Japanese scientists, the recipients of fellowships will be able to develop important contacts with the international research community, which should be of considerable benefit in the future. The major objective of this grant is educational. Two previous schools have been supported by NSF with great success and have helped establish a U.S. pre-eminence in the area of S/T simulations. A second objective is that of advanced code development. Modelling of the S/T environment requires sophisticated code development of 3rd plasma simulations in realistic geomagnetic field geometries. This is a difficult problem relying partly on advances in numerical techniques e.g. adaptive grids. Finally this effort will lead to advances in modelling the S/T system.
