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.

NSF奖：CBET-0743728项目标题：qHUB：社区驱动的研究和学习的网络基础设施PI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(Vanderbilt大学，Co-PI)公共摘要-用于热传递社区的新的基于网络的数据存储库，qHUB(？将与这笔种子赠款一起规划和实施。通过与欧洲、印度和中国的IEEE、AIChE、AIAA以及合作伙伴协会和组织共同主办的会议和研讨会，该社区已经以跨学科和国际努力而闻名，包括密切协调技术活动。拟议的活动通过利用经过验证的网络基础设施并对其进行扩展，将新资源交到社区手中，从而扩展了这个成功的社区驱动型联盟的能力。QHUB将提供从原子尺度到连续尺度的输运现象模拟工具，并将在成功的NanHUB模型之后进行设计。它还将包括一个关于热传输性质的数据库和一个协调合作实验的论坛，其中包括交换样品和共享材料合成和热测量资源。此外，qHUB将为教育举措提供集中资源，包括共享教学资源、社区访问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。这一基层努力包括社区中经验丰富的成员和热情、有成就的早期职业研究人员，他们将支持qHUB数十年。它的方法积极进取，不仅寻求为一个新的工程虚拟组织执行社区规划程序，而且还部署实质性的原型内容，使社区能够进行评估和完善，并制定在欧洲和亚洲进行国际参与的具体计划。对于技术界，qHUB将提供一个论坛，讨论和解决需要传热学和其他学科专业知识的新的和重要的研究问题。所设想的资源还将降低使用由更广泛的社区，包括工业和政府实验室开发的最先进和技术先进的计算工具的门槛。QHUB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将通过以更方便、高效和实质性的交互模式重振传热界，促进传热界内的新合作。
