Travel Grants for the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics Annual Meeting 2008

CBET-0840693 Plesnik这笔赠款将帮助与会者参加2008年11月23-25日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行的第61届DFD年会美国物理学会流体动力学分部。这是世界上最大的流体动力学家国际年度会议之一，预计将有1500人参加，成功举办了60多年。学术价值在于交流科学思想，展示尖端研究，并接触到几乎每一个流体动力学分支学科中丰富多样的主题。更广泛的影响包括增加学生和年轻科学家的参与，否则那些负担不起参加会议和支付相关费用的人将有可能参加。优先考虑：(I)在会上发言的人，(Ii)学生，(Iii)来自美国、加拿大、西欧、日本、俄罗斯以外的申请人，(Iv)过去两年没有获得此类奖项的人，以及(V)从给定的研究顾问那里获得不超过一名申请人。由于奖励是为了补充参与者的旅费，而不是完全覆盖这些经费，委员会考虑到申请书上所列的旅费预算。特别努力使工程界任职人数不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体成员，实现多样化的参与。申请和遴选过程是在DFD外部事务委员会、金伯利·希尔教授(明尼苏达大学)和Michael Plesniak教授(普渡大学)的主持下进行的。

CBET-0840693PlesniakThis grant will facilitate participant travel to the American Physical Society, Division of Fluid Dynamics, 61st Annual DFD Meeting, San Antonio, Texas, November 23-25, 2008. This is one of the largest international annual meetings of fluid dynamicists in the world, with 1500 anticipated attendees, successfully run for over sixty years. The intellectual merit is the exchange of scientific ideas, presentations of cutting edge research and exposure to a richly diverse array of topics is in virtually every sub-discipline of fluid dynamics. Broader impacts include increased participation of students and young scientists will be possible for those who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel to the meeting and pay associated costs. Preference is given: (i) to those presenting talks at the meeting, (ii) to students, (iii) to applicants from other than US, Canada, Western Europe, Japan, Russia, (iv) to those who have not received such an award in the past two years, and (v) to no more than one applicant from a given research advisor. Since the awards are meant to supplement participant travel funds, not to cover these entirely, the committee takes into account the travel budget as stated on the application. Special effort is made to achieve diverse participation from underrepresented groups in engineering, including women and members of minority groups. The application and selection process is conducted under the auspices of the DFD External Affairs Committee, Prof. Kimberly Hill, Chair (University of Minnesota) and Prof. Michael Plesniak, Vice Chair (Purdue University).
