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

这项资助将帮助参与者前往2009年11月22-24日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行的美国物理学会流体动力学分部第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名与会者。会议已经成功举办了六十多年。本次会议的智力价值在于科学思想的交流，前沿研究的介绍和接触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年轻科学家的参与，否则他们将无法负担参加会议的旅费和支付相关费用。由于该奖项旨在补充参与者的旅行资金，而不是完全覆盖这些资金，因此委员会将考虑申请中输入的旅行预算。特别努力使代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体成员，多样化地参与工程。申请和选拔过程由英国外交部对外事务委员会主持，委员会主席Michael Plesniak教授（乔治华盛顿大学）。典型的奖励是500- 1000美元。NSF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.
