CBET-0840693 Plesniak该赠款将方便与会者前往美国物理学会，流体动力学部，第61届年度DFD会议，圣安东尼奥，得克萨斯州，2008年11月23日至25日。这是世界上最大的流体力学家国际年会之一，预计有1500名与会者，成功举办了60多年。知识价值是科学思想的交流，尖端研究的介绍和接触到丰富多样的主题几乎是流体动力学的每一个子学科。更广泛的影响包括增加学生和青年科学家的参与，否则他们将无法负担参加会议的旅费和支付相关费用。优先考虑：（i）在会议上发表演讲的人，（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）来自特定研究顾问的不超过一名申请人。由于奖学金是为了补充与会者的旅费，而不是完全支付旅费，委员会考虑到申请表上所列的旅费预算。特别努力实现代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体成员对工程的多样化参与。申请和选拔过程是在DFD对外事务委员会，主席Kimberly Hill教授（明尼苏达大学）和副主席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).
