Symposium on Frontiers of Fluid Dynamics-A Legacy to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico on November 1-3, 2013.

PI: Castillo， Luciano提案编号：1360659机构：德克萨斯理工大学标题：流体动力学前沿研讨会-遗产流体动力学前沿研讨会将于2013年11月1日至3日在波多黎各圣胡安的丽思卡尔顿酒店举行。本次活动将有世界一流的流体动力学专家参加，重点关注与医学、湍流和能源相关的应用。会议将于11月1日星期五上午开始，并持续到11月3日星期日中午。研讨会将包括世界级科学家的简短演讲（15分钟演讲，外加5分钟提问）和海报展示。将建立一种非正式的授课形式，以促进最终可能导致合作的讨论。预计后续会议将在随后的几年中继续进行，美国机构和其他参与者（工业界、学术界和国家实验室）之间的联合资助项目将导致研究进展。研讨会的目标包括：(i)促进美国、欧洲和澳大利亚之间的国际合作；㈡确定与医学、能源（特别是风能）和湍流有关的流体动力学方面的紧迫问题；以与工业界合作的方式促进技术转让（四）证明基本知识与风能和医学的应用之间的联系；(v)促进代表人数不足的学生在风能和湍流领域进行研究生学习。由于世界面临着有限的化石燃料供应的高价格和对气候变化日益增长的担忧，替代能源正变得越来越有吸引力。可再生能源技术的发展受到寻求多学科科学和工程领域研究生学习的学生数量不足的威胁。此外，用全球经济所需的知识和领导技能完成学业也至关重要。为了应对这些挑战，由美国和国际机构组成的团队将在风能和医学等新兴关键领域开展一系列与流体动力学相关的演讲/讨论。该活动将包括讲座、非正式小组讨论和海报会议。此外，研讨会的目标是让30%以上的参与者是来自代表性不足群体的学生。更广泛的影响预期讲座的质量将达到可以建立永久记录和通过档案出版物传播这些材料的水平。这将是对整个科学界的宝贵贡献，因为会议主持人也将关注未来的研究方向。介绍和会议材料将在专题讨论会的网站（www.nwrcevents.com）上提供，也将通过期刊出版物加以记录。从这次专题讨论会中获得的知识将提高波多黎各各机构的教学和研究质量，并确实将为学生和参加者提供国际机会。从这次活动中获得的经验将对培训科学家/工程师，包括代表性不足的学生产生积极影响。

PI: Castillo, Luciano Proposal Number: 1360659Institution: Texas Tech University Title: Symposium on Frontiers of Fluid Dynamics-A LegacyThe Symposium on Frontiers of Fluid Dynamics-A Legacy will be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico during November 1 - 3, 2013 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. This event will have the participation of world-class experts in fluid dynamics with focus on applications related to medicine, turbulence and energy. Sessions will begin on Friday morning, November 1st and continue through noon on Sunday, November 3rd. The symposium will include short talks (15 minutes talk, plus 5 minutes for questions) by world-class scientists, and poster presentations. An informal format will be established for the delivery of lectures to promote discussions that can eventually lead to collaborations. It is expected that follow up meetings will continue during subsequent years and joint-funded projects between USA institutions and other participants (industry, academia and national labs) will lead to research advances.Symposium objectives include: (i) To promote international collaborations between the United States, Europe and Australia; (ii) Identify pressing questions on fluid dynamics related to medicine, energy (particularly, wind energy) and turbulence; (iii) Promote technology transfer by means of collaborations with industry (iv) To demonstrate the connection between fundamental knowledge with applications in wind energy and medicine; (v) To promote graduate studies for underrepresented students in the area of wind energy and turbulence.Intellectual MeritAs the world faces high prices for a finite fossil fuel supply and growing concerns about climate change, alternate sources of energy are becoming more attractive. The development of renewable energy technologies is threatened by an insufficient number of students seeking graduate studies in multidisciplinary science and engineering fields. In addition, completing their studies with the knowledge and leadership skills needed in a global economy is also crucial. To address these challenges, the team, composed of USA and international institutions, will conduct a series of presentations/discussions related to fluid dynamics in emerging critical areas on wind energy and medicine. This activity will consist of lectures, informal group discussions, and poster sessions. Furthermore, the symposium will aim to have more than 30% of participants to be students from underrepresented groups. Broader ImpactThe quality of the lectures is expected to be such that a permanent record and dissemination of the material through archival publications can be created. This would be a valuable contribution to the scientific community at large, since the conference presenters will also focus on future research directions. The presentations and the conference material will become available on the website of the symposium (www.nwrcevents.com), and will also be documented through journal publications. Knowledge gained from this symposium will improve the quality of the instruction and research of institutions in Puerto Rico and will, indeed, provide international opportunities to students and participants. The experience gained from this event will have a positive impact in training scientists/engineers, including underrepresented students.
