Whither Turbulence and Big Data in the 21st Century? (Corsica, April 20-24, 2015)

该提案寻求资金部分用于支付代表性不足的年轻教师和学生的差旅费用，以及与会议相关的传播费用，题为“NSF/ONR: 21世纪湍流和大数据的去向”，将于2015年4月20日至24日在法国科西嘉岛举行。世界一流的研究人员将参加他的会议。湍流的研究活动涉及从多尺度计算机模拟和/或大规模实验中收集大量数据。例如，高度非线性时间依赖的随机湍流实验通常在几分之一秒内产生数tb的多模态数据（速度、压力、温度、声学等）。这些计算和实验研究提出了巨大的大数据挑战，克服这些挑战对于实现真正的突破至关重要。更好地了解湍流将导致对航空航天和海军应用、生物医学应用、风能生产、节能等许多工程问题的更好理解。研讨会每天将包括分组会议，以最大限度地提高参与者之间的互动。组委会致力于聘请少数民族高级博士和初级教师。本次研讨会的主要目标是为未来几年大数据和湍流研究流体动力学提出挑战。研讨会的其他目标如下：(i)研讨会旨在提高对最先进流体动力学研究的认识和基本知识，包括：建模、实验和模拟；专题讨论会将提供一个独特的跨学科环境，以确定今后25年的当前问题和动荡的挑战；（iii）促进与美国、加拿大、欧洲及澳洲的合作及学生交流；它将能够为数据减少和可视化制定战略和新倡议；包括网络基础设施。

The proposal seeks funds to partially cover travel expenses of underrepresented young faculty and students as well as dissemination expenses related to the conference entitled, "NSF/ONR: Whither Turbulence and Big Data In the 21st Century" to be held in Corsica, France, April 20-24, 2015. World class researchers will participate in his meeting.Research activities in turbulence involve the collection of massive amounts of data from multi-scale computer simulations and/or large-scale experiments. For example, highly non-linear time dependent stochastic turbulent flow experiments routinely produce terabytes of multi-modal data (velocity, pressure, temperature, acoustics, etc.) in fractions of a second. Such computational and experimental research presents formidable big data challenges and overcoming them is indeed critical for achieving real breakthroughs. Better understanding of turbulence will lead to improved understanding of a number of engineering problems in aerospace and naval applications, biomedical applications, wind energy production, energy conservation, etc. The symposium will include breakout sessions each day to maximize interaction among participants. The organizing committee is committed to engage senior minority PhDs and junior faculty. The main goal of this workshop is to frame the challenges in big data and turbulence research fluid dynamics for the next several. Other objectives of the symposium are as follows: (i) The symposium seeks to bring awareness and basic knowledge on the state-of-the-art fluid dynamics research including: modeling, experiments, and simulations; (ii) The symposium will provide a unique cross-disciplinary environment for identifying the current issues and challenges of turbulence for the next quarter century; (iii) It will foster collaborations and students exchange with USA, Canada, Europe and Australia; (iv) It will enable the development of strategies and new initiatives for data reduction and visualization; including Cyber Infrastructure.
