Symposium: Tutorial School on Fluid Dynamics: Topics in Turbulence

伯格斯流体动力学项目和马里兰大学的科学计算和数学建模中心以及约翰霍普金斯大学的环境和应用流体动力学中心共同开设了流体动力学学院：主要为高级研究生设计的湍流主题，即已经上过入门课程的学生，他们会发现更深入地学习这门学科是有益的。对于需要进一步指导的博士后研究人员来说，这也是有益的。已有37名学生和博士后学员接受了我们的邀请。其中17人来自马里兰大学和约翰霍普金斯大学以外的美国大学，11人来自国外。该项目填补了这一需求，因为美国甚至国外几乎没有一所大学能够负担得起在一两个学期的入门课程之外提供湍流方面的研究生指导。该学院将专注于利用现代实验和分析技术及其预测和控制方面的最新发展，以及强大的数值模拟能力。马里兰大学、约翰霍普金斯大学和其他地方的讲师将讲授湍流理论、实验和模拟方法、单相流和两相流中的湍流输运以及湍流的应用。充足的公开讨论时间将为学生和教职员工提供丰富的思想交流机会。下午的体验式学习将在工作站和实验室进行。智力价值：液体和气体的湍流运动是自然界和工程中普遍存在的现象。这种流体运动是行星形成的基础，从星际颗粒云到决定天气系统的地球大气和海洋的动力学，到燃烧中反应物的混合，到烟囱和风暴下水道中污染物的扩散，以及由病变的动脉造成的健康风险，仅举几个例子。更广泛的影响：了解和模拟湍流运动的物理学是预测其在各种对人类福祉重要的自然事件中的影响并在工程应用中控制它的基础，这些自然事件对人类福祉非常重要，如空中和地面交通工具的设计，推进的高效发动机，热交换器，支架和心脏瓣膜。

The Burgers Program for Fluid Dynamics and the Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling at the University of Maryland and the Center for Environmental and Applied Fluid Dynamics at Johns Hopkins University jointly offer a School on Fluid Dynamics: Topics in Turbulence designed primarily for advanced graduate students, i.e. students who have had an introductory course and who would find it beneficial to go deeper into the subject. It will also be beneficial to beginning post-doctoral researchers who have the need for further instruction. Thirty-seven student and post-doc participants have accepted our invitation to attend the School. Of these, 17 are from U. S. universities other than Maryland and Johns Hopkins and 11 are from abroad. The program fills a need since almost no universities in the United States, or even abroad, can afford to offer graduate instruction in aspects of turbulence beyond introductory courses of one or two semesters.The School will focus on recent developments in the understanding of turbulence, its prediction and control using modern experimental and analytical techniques and powerful numerical simulation capabilities. Tutorials on turbulence theory, experimental and simulation methods, turbulent transport in single and two phase flows and applications of turbulence will be given by lecturers from the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University and elsewhere. Ample open discussion time will provide opportunities for student and faculty participants to have a rich exchange of ideas. Afternoon experiential learning sessions will be conducted at workstations and in laboratories.Intellectual Merit:The turbulent motion of liquids and gases is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and engineering. Such fluid motion is fundamental to the formation of planets from interstellar clouds of particulates, to the dynamics of the earth's atmosphere and oceans that determine weather systems, to the mixing of reactants in combustion, to the dispersion of pollutants from smokestacks and storm sewers, and to the health risks caused by diseased arteries, to name but a few examples.Broader Impact:Understanding and modeling the physics of turbulent motion is the basis of predicting its effects in a wide variety of natural occurrences important to human welfare and controlling it in engineering applications such as the design of air and surface vehicles, efficient engines for propulsion, heat exchangers and stents and heart valves.
