Very few universities have the resources to offer graduate instruction to train aspiring fluid dynamics researchers beyond basic introductory courses. The Burgers Program for Fluid Dynamics at the University of Maryland has been addressing this situation for several years by organizing Summer Research Schools, where about 40-50 graduate students from all over the country spend one week at the University of Maryland for an intense series of lectures and hands-on tutorials by invited experts. The Summer Research Schools are designed primarily for advanced PhD students, i.e., students who have had an introductory course on turbulence and who have the desire to go deeper into the subject. The students benefit from the Schools in two different ways: (i) they are exposed to lectures from a range of experts that would not be possible in other settings; and (ii) they build a large network and community of other young turbulence researchers across the country.The 2018 Summer Research School will focus on recent developments in the understanding of turbulence, its prediction and control using modern experimental and analytical techniques and powerful numerical simulation capabilities. Lectures will cover turbulence theory, experimental and simulation methods, turbulent transport in single and two-phase flows, transition to turbulence, compressible turbulence, the control of turbulence, and some applications. Hands-on tutorials are offered in the afternoons and evenings, where students interact with DNS datasets. Students also have the opportunity to present their own work in a poster session. The format of the school is specifically designed to promote interactions among the students and between students and instructors, with intimate coffee breaks, lunches provided in a private area, and evening socials.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

除了基础入门课程之外，很少有大学有资源提供研究生指导，以培养有抱负的流体动力学研究人员。多年来，马里兰大学的汉堡流体动力学项目一直在通过组织暑期研究班来应对这种情况，来自全国各地的约40-50名研究生将在马里兰大学度过一周，由受邀的专家进行一系列密集的讲座和实践教程。暑期研究学校主要是为高级博士生设计的，也就是说，他们已经上过关于湍流的入门课程，并希望更深入地研究这门学科。学生们从学校以两种不同的方式受益：(I)他们接触到一系列专家的讲座，这在其他环境下是不可能的；(Ii)他们在全国各地建立了一个由其他年轻湍流研究人员组成的大型网络和社区。2018年夏季研究学校将专注于利用现代实验和分析技术及其强大的数值模拟能力来理解湍流及其预测和控制方面的最新发展。课程内容包括湍流理论、实验和模拟方法、单相流和两相流中的湍流输运、向湍流的转变、可压缩湍流、湍流的控制以及一些应用。下午和晚上提供实践教程，学生可以在其中与DNS数据集进行交互。学生还有机会在海报展示环节展示自己的作品。该学校的形式是专门为促进学生之间以及学生和教师之间的互动而设计的，包括亲密的咖啡休息时间，在私人区域提供午餐，以及晚上社交。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
