1138571 PI: BehringerThis proposal seeks funding for a summary and review meeting that will consolidate results from the NSF-IFPRI Collaboratory project to characterize the modeling of granular materials. The meeting is to be held on June 29 to July 1, 2011 at The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, NC and will bring together modelers, experimenters, IFPRI members and others. The meeting will follow and be a part of the IFPRI annual meeting. The key feature of this meeting will be a head-on comparison of physical data acquired at CUNY and at Duke University with simulations carried out by a number of groups, and in particular, by groups funded through NSF-CBET via a proposal to IFPRI (International Fine Particle Research Institute). By conjoining this meeting with the IFPRI AGM, we expect to achieve significant dissemination of results from the NSF-IFPRI collaboratory within the community of academic and industrial powder users. We will also seek the participation of a range of young scientists and engineers.Intellectual MeritIn the case of powders and granular materials, it is only rarely possible to make a detailed quantitative comparison between careful laboratory studies and numerical simulations. Under recent NSF-CBET funding, there has been just such a study that has been orchestrated through the efforts of IFPRI. Two detailed sets of physical measurements were provided to a number of US modelers. The meeting, for which support is requested here, will bring these US modelers together to discuss the results of their simulations and to draw conclusions about the reliability of models. It is also anticipated that non-NSF-funded participants will attend this meeting. These latter participants, coming from industry and from outside the US will enhance the modeling and meeting efforts, although, to reiterate, no NSF funds have been or will be provided for them.Broader ImpactThe results of this meeting will be used to produce a extensive public report of the success of different models. This will be of great value to commercial users of granular materials.

1138571 PI：Behringer该提案寻求为总结和审查会议提供资金，该会议将巩固NSF-IFPRI合作实验室项目的结果，以表征颗粒材料的建模。 会议将于2011年6月29日至7月1日在北卡罗来纳州查佩尔山的卡罗莱纳酒店举行，并将汇集建模者，实验者，IFPRI成员和其他人。 该会议将作为IFPRI年会的一部分。这次会议的主要特点是将在纽约市立大学和杜克大学获得的物理数据与一些小组进行的模拟进行正面比较，特别是通过向IFPRI（国际细颗粒研究所）提出的建议，由NSF-CBET资助的小组进行的模拟。 通过将本次会议与IFPRI年度股东大会结合起来，我们希望在学术界和工业粉末用户中实现NSF-IFPRI合作实验室结果的重要传播。 我们还将寻求一系列年轻科学家和工程师的参与。智力优势在粉末和颗粒材料的情况下，很少有可能在仔细的实验室研究和数值模拟之间进行详细的定量比较。 在最近的NSF-CBET资助下，通过IFPRI的努力，已经有了这样一项研究。 向一些美国建模者提供了两套详细的物理测量数据。 本次会议将召集这些美国建模者讨论他们的模拟结果，并就模型的可靠性得出结论。预计非NSF资助的与会者也将出席本次会议。 这些来自工业界和美国以外的与会者将加强建模和会议的努力，尽管重申，没有NSF的资金已经或将提供给他们。更广泛的影响这次会议的结果将用于产生一个广泛的公共报告的成功，不同的模式。 这将对颗粒材料的商业用户具有很大的价值。
