Travel Grants for the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics Annual Meeting 2009

这项赠款将方便与会者前往美国物理学会流体动力学部，第62届年度DFD会议2009年在明尼阿波利斯，明尼苏达州，2009年11月22日至24日。这是世界上最大的流体力学家国际年会，预计将有1800名与会者。该会议已成功举办了60多年。本次会议的智力价值在于科学思想的交流，尖端研究的介绍和接触到流体动力学几乎每个子学科的丰富多样的主题。更广泛的影响将是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。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，委员会考虑到了申请表上的旅费预算。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对外事务委员会的主持下，Michael Plesniak教授，主席（乔治华盛顿大学）。典型的奖励将是500 - 1000美元。NSF的支持将资助来自美国的学生

CBET-0939458 Plesniak This grant will facilitate participant travel to the American Physical Society, Division of Fluid Dynamics, 62nd Annual DFD Meeting 2009 in Minneapolis, MN, November 22-24, 2009. This is the largest international annual meeting of fluid dynamicists in the world, with 1800 anticipated attendees. The meeting has been successfully run for over sixty years. The intellectual merit of this conference lies in the exchange of scientific ideas, presentations of cutting edge research and exposure to a richly diverse array of topics in virtually every sub-discipline of fluid dynamics. The broader impact will be to increase participation of students and young scientists who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel to the meeting and pay associated costs. Since the awards are meant to supplement participant travel funds, not to cover these entirely, the committee takes into account the travel budget entered 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 under the auspices of the DFD External Affairs Committee, Prof. Michael Plesniak, Chair (The George Washington University). Typical awards will be $500-$1000. NSF support will fund students from the U.S.
