ROW: Application of Fluid Dynamics & Geochemistry: The Essence of Processes in the Earth's Crust. A Learning Experience in Fluid Flow.

建议将流体动力学，传热和传质原理与矿物和水化学知识结合起来。最终，这将导致一种关于由流体流动引起的状态条件变化所导致的矿物和流体行为的综合方法，以及这些过程的物理表现。识别和量化流体循环中涉及的主要因素使人们能够预测和描述最剧烈的流体矿物反应将发生的地方。流体动力学的整合有望带来新的创新勘探方法和发现流体-矿物系统的前沿。本课程旨在深入了解动态流体系统的工作知识，掌握必要的技能，将研究项目扩展到这一领域，并开发适用于这些系统的创新研究方法。活动将集中于与流体运动相关的过程和机制，强调描述输运理论的概念，流体动力学的物理，形式化问题所需的数学工具和结构，以及获得和可视化结果所需的计算和数值技术。流体动力学与传统矿物学方法以及水地球化学和不可逆热力学的理论方法相结合，将更充分地解释和预测流体流动引起的化学蚀变。

It is proposed to incorporate principles of fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer with knowledge of mineral and aqueous chemistry. Ultimately, this will lead to an integrated approach concerning the behavior of minerals and fluids resulting from changes in state conditions caused by fluid flow, and the physical manifestation of such processes. Identification and quantification of the dominate factors involved in fluid circulation allows one to predict and describe where the most vigorous fluid mineral reactions will occur. Integration of fluid dynamics will hopefully lead to new innovative methods of exploration and frontiers of discovery in fluid-mineral systems. The proposed activities are designed to obtain an indepth working knowledge of dynamic fluid systems, to acquire necessary skills to expand the research program into this area, and to develop innovative research methods applicable to these systems. Activities will concentrate on processes and mechanisms associated with fluid motion, emphasis of concepts describing transport theory, the physics of fluid dynamics, the mathematical tools and constructs required to formalize the problem, and the computational and numerical techniques necessary to obtain and visualize the results. Integration of fluid dynamics, with traditional mineralogic approaches and theoretical methods from aqueous geochemistry and irreversible thermodynamics, will more fully permit the explanation and prediction of chemical alteration caused by flow of fluids.
