Workshop on rotating convection from the lab to the stars

组成地球大气层、海洋和一些内陆地区的物质都在旋转。科学家们还在太阳系中的其他更小更大的行星太阳上看到了同样的活动，以及在其他恒星和围绕其他恒星运行的行星上。旋转显然会影响热量、化学成分和物理过程的传播。它可以在我们看到的从行星到恒星的大范围内驱动循环。“旋转对流：从实验室到恒星”会议将汇集一群研究旋转对流不同方面的国际人士，回顾该领域的现状，并规划未来的研究。会议将持续五天，有讲座和海报，还会有小组讨论。这次会议将服务于国家利益，在制定计划时促进科学进步，以协调未来关于旋转对流的科学研究，使之最有成效。资金将支持来自美国的早期职业参与者的旅行。旋转通过影响热量、化学物质和角动量的传输率来直接影响对流。因此，它可以驱动大规模的环流，以及大规模的不均匀。旋转和对流的相互作用是复杂的，并根据所考虑的参数制度而采取不同的形式(例如，与中间大气和行星对流相比，海洋对流与中间大气和行星对流相比，对低恒星对流而言，海洋对流具有不同的动量/热量传递)。理解这种相互作用产生的流体运动的复杂性是一个长期存在的问题，只能通过实验、数值、数学和观测研究相结合的方式来研究。这个研讨会的主要目标是确定旋转对流研究中需要解决的基本问题，并制定未来的研究议程。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。

Substances that make up the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and some interior areas are all seen to rotate. Scientists also see the same actions in the Sun, the other smaller and larger planets in our Solar System, as well as in other stars and planets found orbiting other stars. Rotation clearly affects the spread of heat, chemical compositions, and physical processes. It can drive circulation on the large scales we see from planets to stars. The "Rotating Convection: from the Lab to the Stars" meeting will bring together an international group of people who study different aspects of rotating convection to review the current state of this field, and plan future studies. The conference will last five days and have talks and posters mixed with group discussions. This conference will serve the national interest by promoting the progress of science when plans are made to coordinate future scientific studies of rotating convection to be most productive. Funding will support the travel of early-career participants from the United States.Rotation directly influences convection by affecting the transport rates of heat, chemical species, and angular momentum. It can therefore drive large-scale circulations, and large-scale inhomogeneities. The interaction of rotation and convection is complex and takes different forms depending on the parameter regime considered (e.g. high momentum/heat transfer oceanic convection compared to intermediate atmospheric and planetary convection, to low stellar convection). Understanding the complexity of fluid motions that derive from this interaction is a longstanding problem that can only be studied through a combination of experimental, numerical, mathematical and observational research. The principal goal of this workshop is to identify fundamental questions to be addressed in rotating convection research, and develop a research agenda for the future.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.
