Lean Combustion Technology II: Promise and Practice An International Conference

该奖项部分支持6-12名年轻研究人员参加第二届国际稀薄燃烧会议，该会议由ECI（原工程基金会）于2004年4月25-29日在葡萄牙托马尔组织。 稀薄燃烧是一项无处不在的技术，会议将邀请来自一系列国家、行业和大学的领先研究人员参加。 除了处理内燃机和涡轮机，该计划将解决各种新的主题，包括替代能源，氢的燃烧和湍流火焰的数字模拟。 将有一个海报会议，会议记录将制作成一张CD，并可能在燃烧的宣传系列。 这次会议的讨论，无论是正式的还是非正式的，都将为参加会议的年轻研究人员提供宝贵的帮助。 因此，这一小笔投资有助于下一代燃烧研究人员的健康发展。该资金将帮助支付6-12名参与者的差旅费，每人提供500 - 1000美元。该活动的智力价值来自燃烧专家的参与，他们的演讲以及小组之间的沟通。 更广泛的影响主要来自研究生和年轻教师参与研讨会，以鼓励他们在这一领域的参与和发展。此外，专题讨论会将促进与会者之间的国际联网。

This award supports partially the participation of 6-12 young researchers in the second international conference on lean combustion, organized by ECI (formerly Engineering Foundation), in Tomar, Portugal, April 25-29, 2004. Lean combustion is a ubiquitous technology, and the conference will engage leading researchers from a range of countries and from industry as well as universities. In addition to treating IC engines and turbines, the program will address a variety of new topics, including alternative energy sources, combustion of hydrogen, and digital simulation of turbulent flames. There will be a poster session, and proceedings will be produced on a CD and possibly in the Combustion Treatise Series. The discussions at this meeting, both formal and informal, will provide a valuable enhancement for the younger researchers who participate. Thus, this small investment can contribute to the healthy development of the next generation of combustion researchers. The funding will help to pay travel expenses for 6-12 participants by providing $500-$1000 each.The intellectual merit of the activity arises from the participation of combustion experts, their discourse, and the communication among the group. The broader impact arises primarily from the involvement of graduate students and younger faculty in the symposium to encourage their participation and development in this field. Also, the symposium will promote international networking among the participants.
