Workshop: A Workshop on Friction: A Grand Challenge at the Interface of Solid and Fluid Mechanics, to be held in Hilton Head, South Carolina March 2009

研讨会将于2009年3月在南卡罗来纳州的希尔顿海德举行。 研讨会：摩擦研讨会：固体和流体力学界面的巨大挑战。 一个巨大的挑战在于制定统一的分析技术，通过动量/能量转移和热过程解决摩擦问题，从而将有用的动能转移到原子到连续尺度上的寄生过程，无论界面两侧的介质如何。改进对摩擦的多种来源的理解和建模，是旨在减少人类发展和运输，从减少磨损，噪音和/或振动，提高传动效率，减少湍流表面摩擦，提高车辆效率，改进模型和控制污染物扩散的大气风在城市？粗糙？环境的影响，以提高对环境物理学和气候现象的理解，如冰原的发展和冰川融化。

This Workshop will be held in Hilton Head, South Carolina - March 2009. Workshop: A Workshop on Friction: A Grand Challenge at the interface of Solid and Fluid Mechanics. A grand challenge lies in the formulation of unified analysis techniques addressing friction through the momentum/energy transfer and thermal processes leading to the diversion of useful kinetic energy to parasitic processes on atomic to continuum scales, irrespective of the media on either side of the interface.Improved understanding and modeling of the multiple origins of friction form a vital component of technologies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of human development and transportation, ranging from reduced wear, noise and/or vibration, increased transmission efficiency, turbulent skin friction reduction for increased vehicle efficiency, improved models and control of pollutant dispersion by atmospheric winds in urban ?rough? environments to advanced understanding of environmental physics and climate phenomena such as ice-field development and glacier melting.
