"Population Balance Modeling of Particulate Systems" Conference held in Kona, Hawaii

CTS-0001336、联合工程信托公司Charles V.Freiman和John A.Herbst已被要求为参加2000年1月23-28日在夏威夷科纳举行的“粒子系统的人口平衡建模”会议的特邀演讲者和美国年轻研究人员提供部分旅行支持。本次会议的目的是评估该领域目前的研究成果，并确定研究需求和新的研究方向和技术发展。来自学术界和产业界的工程师、化学家和物理学家将试图确定共同的原则和方法，并开展合作。会议分为9个技术部分，包括对建模和模拟、矿物系统、生物/环境系统、先进材料、化学/石油系统、模型解决方案、研究需求和方向以及应用的概述。来自美洲、欧洲、亚洲和澳大利亚的知名和年轻研究人员将参加。届时将有约80人参加。这次研讨会讨论的主题是对颗粒物系统进行建模，具有广泛的相关性。尽管这一领域很重要，但在过去的5-10年里，这一领域受到的关注较少，对这项研究进行新的重新评估和重新定位是及时的。将有充足的时间提问和讨论。讲习班预计将成为与会者，特别是年轻研究人员讨论实际技术问题、合作和专业活动的互动论坛。会议的一个目的是促进学术界和工业界研究人员在人口平衡模型领域建立长期合作。

AbstractCTS-0001336, United Engr TrusteesCharles V. Freiman and John A. HerbstPartial travel support for invited speakers and U.S. young researchers participating at the "Population Balance Modeling of Particulate Systems" conference in Kona, Hawaii, on January 23-28, 2000, has been requested. The objective of this meeting is to evaluate the current research results in the field, and identify research needs and new research directions and technological developments. Engineers, chemists and physicists from academe and industry will attempt to identify common principles and approaches and develop collaborations. The conference is organized in nine technical sections, including overviews on modeling and simulation, mineral systems, biological/environmental systems, advanced materials, chemical/petroleum systems, model solutions, research needs and directions, and applications. Established and young researchers from Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia will participate. There will be about 80 participants. This workshop is addressing topics modeling particulate systems with a broad area of relevance. Despite its importance, this field received less attention in the last 5-10 years and a new reassessment and redirection of the research is timely. Ample time will be allowed for questions and discussions. The workshop is expected to be an interactive forum for participants, particularly younger researchers, to debate actual technical issues, collaborations and professional activities. A purpose of the meeting is to facilitate the establishment of long term cooperation among researchers in academe and industry in the area of population balance modeling.
