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

CBET-0939458 Plesniak这笔赠款将帮助与会者前往美国物理学会流体动力学分部，2009年11月22日至24日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的第62届DFD年会。这是世界上最大的流体动力学家国际年会，预计将有1800人参加。这次会议已经成功地举办了六十多年。这次会议的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的丰富多样的主题。更广泛的影响将是增加学生和年轻科学家的参与，否则他们将负担不起参加会议的费用和相关费用。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，委员会考虑了申请书上输入的旅费预算。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。申请和遴选过程由DFD外部事务委员会主席Michael Plesniak教授(乔治华盛顿大学)主持。典型的奖励金额为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.
