U.S.-China Coopertive Research: Theoretical Investigation of Fluid Nucleation

小行星9603138 该奖项支持内布拉斯加大学的肖曾与北京化工大学的王文川和顾广图之间为期三年的流体成核合作项目。 该项目涉及来自内布拉斯加州的两名研究生的参与，他们将访问中国，参与研究的计算部分。 该项目建议推进CTS 9413301资助的工作，以开发基于统计力学的成核理论，该理论与以前其他成核理论无法解释的实验事实一致。在这个项目中发展的成核理论与有害气溶胶、光化学烟雾、酸雨的形成和环境科学的其他领域有关。拟议的合作涉及内布拉斯加州项目的理论方面的工作，以及北京研究的计算部分的工作。该项目将由中国国家自然科学基金中方资助。

9603138 Zeng This award supports a three year cooperative program on fluid nucleation between Xiao Zeng, University of Nebraska, and Wang Wenchuan and Gu Guangtu, Beijing University of Chemical Technology. The project involves participation of two graduate students from Nebraska, who will visit China to participate in the computation component of the research. This project proposes to advance work funded under CTS 9413301 to develop a nucleation theory based on statistical mechanics which would agree with the experimental facts previously unexplained by other nucleation theories. The nucleation theory to be developed in this project has relevance to the formation of hazardous aerosols, photochemical smog, acid rain and in other areas of environmental science. The proposed collaboration involves work on the theoretical aspects of the program at Nebraska, and work on the computation component of the research in Beijing. The project will be supported on the Chinese side by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
