APS DPF Participant Travel Support - 68th Annual DFD Meeting in Boston, MA, November 22-24, 2015

1551170(科尔)该提案寻求资金，用于支付研究生、博士后研究人员和来自美国机构的初级教员参加2015年11月22日至24日在马萨诸塞州博森举行的题为“美国物理学会流体动力学分会，第68届DFD年会”的会议的部分旅费。这是世界上最大的流体动力学家国际年会，预计将有2500人参加。这次会议已经成功地举办了65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。来自世界各地的杰出和年轻的流体动力学科学家将出席这次会议，他们将讨论目前和未来的研究方向和研究挑战。这次会议将促进流体动力学前沿领域的研究人员之间的思想交流，并将在不久的将来解决推进该领域所涉及的挑战。更广泛的影响将是增加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。优先考虑的是：(I)在会上发言的人；(Ii)学生；(Iii)过去没有获得过此类奖项的人；以及(Iv)同一研究顾问不超过一名申请者。申请和遴选过程由DFD外部事务委员会主持，该委员会由加州理工学院的Beverley McKeon教授担任主席，圣母大学的Kenneth Christensen教授担任副主席，担任过程协调员。外交事务委员会的每一位成员都会阅读每一份申请书，并根据旅行补助金方案的优先顺序对其进行排序(重点是学生、青年科学家，以及来自代表性不足群体的科学家)。NSF的支持将只为来自美国的个人提供资金。

1551170 (Cole)The proposal seeks funds to partially cover travel expenses of graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and junior faculty members from institutions in the United States to participate in the conference entitled, "American Physical Society, Division of Fluid Dynamics, 68th Annual DFD Meeting 2015" in Boson, MA, November 22-24, 2015. This is the largest international annual meeting of fluid dynamicists in the world, with 2,500 anticipated attendees. The meeting has been successfully run for over sixty five 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 conference will be attended by both prominent and young scientists in fluid dynamics from around the world, who will be discussing present and future directions of research and research challenges. The conference will foster cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers in cutting edge areas of fluid dynamics and will address challenges involved in advancing the field in the near future. The broader impact will be to increase participation of students and young scientists who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel to the meeting and pay associated costs. Preference is given: (i) to those presenting talks at the meeting, (ii) to students, (iii) to those who have not received such an award in the past, and (iv) to no more than one applicant from a given research adviser. The application and selection process is under the auspices of the DFD External Affairs Committee, chaired by Prof. Beverley McKeon of the California Institute of Technology with Vice Chair Prof. Kenneth Christensen of Notre Dame, serving as the process coordinator. Each member of the External Affairs Committee reads each of the applications and ranks them according to the priorities of the travel grant program (emphasis is given to students, young scientists, and, in general, scientists from under-represented groups). NSF support will fund individuals from the US only.
