Travel Grants for the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics Annual Meeting 2011, Baltimore, MD, November 20-22, 2011

1141747FreundNSF的资金将为参加2011年11月20日至22日在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的第64届DFD年会的美国物理学会流体动力学分部的与会者提供部分旅行支持。这是世界上最大的流体动力学家国际年会，预计将有2000人参加。这次会议已经成功地举办了60多年。这次会议的主要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美国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。优先授予NSF赞助的资金：(I)在会议上发表演讲的人，(Ii)过去没有获得过此类奖项的人，以及(Iii)不超过一名来自给定研究顾问的申请者。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。

1141747FreundThe funding from NSF will provide partial support of participant travel to the American Physical Society, Division of Fluid Dynamics, 64th Annual DFD Meeting 2011 in Baltimore, MD, November 20-22, 2011. This is the largest international annual meeting of fluid dynamicists in the world, with 2000 anticipated attendees. The meeting has been successfully run for over sixty years.The chief 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 in the US who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel to the meeting and pay associated costs. Preference for awarding the NSF sponsored funds is given: (i) to those presenting talks at the meeting, (ii) to those who have not received such an award in the past, and (iii) to no more than one applicant from a given research advisor. 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.
