The Center for Turbulence Research Summer Program

1152924 moin这项资助为来自美国大学的学生和早期职业科学家参加湍流研究中心（CTR） 2012年暑期项目提供部分旅费支持。这将是CTR第14个两年一次的暑期项目，也是第一个得到NSF支持的项目。CTR暑期项目包括来自斯坦福大学以外的约50名参与者，他们与约30名斯坦福大学参与者和美国宇航局科学家一起进行为期一个月的高强度研究。2010年的项目是迄今为止规模最大的，有来自13个国家的83名参与者，其中包括来自10所美国大学和国家实验室的参与者。采用竞争性程序来选择参与者。他们的选择是基于他们的研究建议的优点，他们的建议？与CTR感兴趣的领域的相关性，以及他们的研究资质。智力优势：暑期项目的大部分内容涉及对数值模拟数据库的查询，以测试参与者提出的模型和假设。在暑期课程期间，可能会进行额外的计算以生成新的数据库。参与者根据他们提出的研究领域被分成焦点小组。CTR的主要目标是促进和提高对复杂多物理场湍流的理解和预测，以供工程分析。CTR寻求实现这些目标的主要手段是将与动荡有关的领域的聪明和有成就的个人聚集在一起，解决实际问题。更广泛的影响：特殊的两年一次的暑期学校为来自工业和国家实验室的大约50名高级研究生、他们的导师、研究科学家和工程师提供了集中合作的机会。暑期课程的一个重要组成部分是每周的辅导课。这些教程由参与者感兴趣的领域的领先专家提供，通常每个教程持续约两个小时。

1152924MoinThis grant provides partial travel support for students and early-career scientists from U.S. universities to attend the Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) 2012 Summer Program. This will be the fourteenth biennial CTR Summer Program and the first with NSF support. CTR Summer Programs involve about 50 participants from outside of Stanford who join about 30 Stanford participants and NASA scientists for a one-month period of intense study. The 2010 program was the largest to date with 83 participants from 13 countries, including participants from 10 U.S. universities and national laboratories. A competitive process is used to select the participants. They are selected based on the merits of their research proposals, their proposal?s relevance to areas of interest to CTR, and their research credentials. Intellectual Merit : The bulk of the Summer Program involves hands on interrogation of numerical simulation databases for testing of models and hypotheses proposed by the participants. Additional calculations to generate new databases may be performed during the Summer Program. The participants are divided into focus groups based on their proposed areas of research. The primary objective of CTR is to stimulate and produce advances in understanding and prediction of complex multi-physics turbulent flows for engineering analysis. The primary means by which CTR seeks to achieve these objectives is by bringing together groups of bright and accomplished individuals in fields bearing on turbulence to address problems of practical interest. Broader Impacts: The special biennial Summer School provides opportunity for a concentrated collaborative effort by about fifty advanced graduate students, their advisors, research scientists, and engineers from industry and National Laboratories. An important element of the Summer Program is the weekly tutorials. These tutorials are delivered by leading experts in areas of interest to the participants, and typically last about two hours each.
