APS Division of Fluid Dynamics Travel Support Program for Students and Early Career Scientists 2017-2019

该项目将部分支付研究生、博士后研究人员和来自美国机构的初级教职员工参加2017年11月19-21日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的第70届美国物理学会流体动力学分会(DFD)会议的旅费。这是世界上最大的流体动力学研究人员国际年会，预计将有超过2500人参加。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。传统上，旅行补助计划优先考虑学生、年轻科学家以及来自代表性不足群体的科学家参加会议。由于奖励是为了补充参与者的旅费，而不是完全覆盖这些经费，委员会考虑了申请书上输入的旅费预算。特别努力使工程界任职人数不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体成员，实现多样化的参与。

The project will 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 (DFD), 70th Annual DFD Meeting in Denver, CO, November 19-21, 2017. This is the largest international annual meeting of fluid dynamics researchers in the world, with over 2,500 anticipated attendees. 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. 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. The travel grant program has traditionally prioritized meeting attendance by students, young scientists, and, in general, scientists from under-represented groups. Since the awards are meant to supplement participant travel funds, not to cover these entirely, the committee takes into account the travel budget entered on the application. Special effort is made to achieve diverse participation from underrepresented groups in engineering, including women and members of minority groups.
