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

1551170 （Cole）该提案寻求资金部分支付来自美国机构的研究生，博士后研究人员和初级教师参加2015年11月22日至24日在马萨诸塞州玻色子举行的题为“美国物理学会，流体动力学分部，第68届年度DFD会议”的会议的旅费。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。会议已经成功举办了六十五多年。这次会议的主要知识价值在于科学思想的交流，前沿研究的介绍，以及在流体动力学几乎每个分支学科中丰富多样的主题。会议将由来自世界各地的流体动力学领域的杰出和年轻科学家参加，他们将讨论当前和未来的研究方向和研究挑战。会议将促进流体动力学前沿领域研究人员之间的思想交流，并将解决在不久的将来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，否则他们将无法负担参加会议的旅费和支付相关费用。优先考虑：(i)在会议上发言的人，（ii）学生，（iii）过去没有获得过此类奖项的人，以及（iv）来自同一研究顾问的不超过一名申请人。申请和选拔过程由DFD对外事务委员会主持，该委员会由加州理工学院的Beverley McKeon教授担任主席，副主席、圣母大学的Kenneth Christensen教授担任协调员。对外事务委员会的每一位成员都会阅读每一份申请，并根据旅行资助计划的优先级对其进行排名（重点是学生、年轻科学家，以及通常来自代表性不足群体的科学家）。美国国家科学基金会将只资助来自美国的个人。

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.
