NSF Award: CBET-0743728Project Title: qHUB: Cyberinfrastructure for Community-Driven Research and Learning in Heat TransferPI Names: Timothy S. Fisher (Purdue University, PI)Costas Grigoropoulos (University of California Berkeley, Co-PI)Jennifer Lukes (University of Pennsylvania, Co-PI)Jayathi Murthy (Purdue University, Co-PI)Greg Walker (Vanderbilt University, Co-PI)PUBLIC ABSTRACTA new web-based data repository for the heat-transfer community, qHUB (the ?q? stands for heat transfer) will be planned and implemented with this seed grant. This community is already well known for interdisciplinary and international efforts involving close coordination of technical activities through jointly sponsored conferences and workshops with the IEEE, AIChE, AIAA, and partner societies and organizations in Europe, India and China. The proposed activities extend the capabilities of this successful community-driven federation by exploiting proven cyberinfrastructure and expanding it to place new resources in the hands of the community. qHUB will provide transport phenomena simulation tools from atomistic to continuum scales and will be designed after the successful nanoHUB model. It will also include a database for thermal transport properties and a forum to coordinate collaborative experiments including sample exchanges and the sharing of resources for material synthesis and thermal measurements. In addition, qHUB will provide a centralized resource for educational initiatives, including the sharing of pedagogical resources, a community-access wiki resource, and the dissemination of online video/audio course lectures and seminars with a global reach. This grass-roots effort includes highly experienced members of the community and enthusiastic, accomplished early-career researchers who will would sustain qHUB for decades. Its approach is aggressive in seeking not only to execute a community planning process for a new engineering virtual organization, but also to deploy substantive prototype content that enables assessment and refinement by the community, with specific plans for international engagement in Europe and Asia. For the technical community, qHUB will provide a forum to discuss and solve new and important research problems requiring expertise in heat transfer and other disciplines. The resources envisioned would also lower barriers for entry to using of the most advanced and technically sophisticated computational tools developed by the broader community, including industry and government laboratories. qHUB content would provide information and learning resources for technical nonexperts in other disciplines, including educational resources for the K-12 level. Lastly, qHUB will catalyze new collaborations within the heat transfer community by reinvigorating it with more convenient, efficient, and substantive modes of interaction.

项目名称：qHUB：社区驱动的热传递研究和学习的网络基础设施名称：Timothy S. Fisher（普渡大学，PI）Costas Grigoropoulos（加州大学伯克利分校，Co-PI）Jennifer Lukes（宾夕法尼亚大学，Co-PI）Jayathi Murthy（普渡大学，Co-PI）Greg Walker（范德比尔特大学，Co-PI）公共摘要acta热传递社区新的基于网络的数据存储库，qHUB (？代表热传递)将计划和实施与此种子拨款。通过与IEEE、AIChE、AIAA以及欧洲、印度和中国的伙伴协会和组织联合主办的会议和研讨会，该社区已经以跨学科和国际努力密切协调技术活动而闻名。拟议的活动通过利用成熟的网络基础设施并将其扩展到社区手中，从而扩展了这个成功的社区驱动联盟的能力。qHUB将提供从原子尺度到连续尺度的传输现象模拟工具，并将在nanoHUB模型成功后进行设计。它还将包括一个热输运特性数据库和一个协调合作实验的论坛，包括样品交换和材料合成和热测量资源的共享。此外，qHUB将为教育活动提供一个集中的资源，包括教学资源的共享、社区访问的维基资源，以及在全球范围内传播在线视频/音频课程讲座和研讨会。这项基层工作包括经验丰富的社区成员和热情的、有成就的早期职业研究人员，他们将为qHUB提供数十年的支持。它的方法是积极的，不仅寻求执行一个新的工程虚拟组织的社区规划过程，而且还部署实质性的原型内容，使社区能够评估和改进，并为欧洲和亚洲的国际参与制定具体计划。对于技术社区，qHUB将提供一个论坛，讨论和解决需要传热和其他学科专业知识的新的重要研究问题。所设想的资源还将降低进入使用包括工业和政府实验室在内的更广泛的社区开发的最先进和技术最复杂的计算工具的门槛。qHUB的内容将为其他学科的非技术专家提供信息和学习资源，包括K-12级别的教育资源。最后，qHUB将通过更方便、高效和实质性的互动模式来重振传热界，从而促进传热界的新合作。
