9981699WuThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on Aqua Bio-mechanics, to be held in Hawaii from August 28-30, 2000. The co-organizers are Professors Theodore Wu at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena and Professor Minoru Nagai at the University of Ryukyus in Japan. The topic will cover aquatic locomotion of all sizes, from microorganisms to fishes and cetaceans, such that the viscous-inertial effects range the entire span known to fluid physics. The biophysical interest will contain the microfibril mechanisms found in flagellar and ciliary locomotion, the muscular energetics of the various kinds of fish swimming, and the physiological metabolism of aquatic animals. The seminar will comprise a series of topics delivered by specialists in the areas of physiology, microbiology, fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, control, robotics, and branches of engineering. The objectives are to improve our understanding of how the various kinds of aquatic locomotion and mechanisms are developed and thriving, to analyze why such ranges of high efficiency are achieved, and to apply the existing and newly gained knowledge to further research and future technologies. The Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger researchers as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. It is expected that information on proceedings of the meeting will be available in "Flui

9981699 Wu该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国- 2000年8月28日至30日在夏威夷举行的日本水生生物力学研讨会。 共同组织者是加州理工学院帕萨迪纳分校的西奥多吴教授和日本琉球大学的永井实教授。 该主题将涵盖各种大小的水生运动，从微生物到鱼类和鲸目动物，因此粘性惯性效应的范围涵盖了流体物理学的整个范围。 生物物理学的兴趣将包括在鞭毛和纤毛运动中发现的微纤维机制，各种鱼类游泳的肌肉能量学，以及水生动物的生理代谢。 该研讨会将包括一系列主题，由生理学，微生物学，流体力学，应用数学，控制，机器人和工程分支领域的专家提供。 其目的是提高我们对各种水上运动和机制如何发展和繁荣的理解，分析为什么会达到这样的高效率范围，并将现有和新获得的知识应用于进一步的研究和未来的技术。 研讨会的组织者作出了特别努力，让年轻的研究人员既作为与会者又作为观察员参加。 与日本专家在这一领域的想法和数据交流将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 预计将在“Flui”中提供关于会议记录的信息，
