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

该项目将部分支付美国机构的研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教师参加2017年11月19日至21日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的“美国物理学会流体动力学分会（DFD）”第70届DFD年会的差旅费。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2500多名与会者。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。传统上，旅行资助计划优先考虑学生、年轻科学家以及总体上来自代表性不足群体的科学家出席会议。由于该奖项旨在补充参与者的旅行资金，而不是完全覆盖这些资金，因此委员会将考虑申请中输入的旅行预算。特别努力使代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体成员，多样化地参与工程。

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.
