This award will support participation of students and postdoctoral scientists and engineers at the IUTAM Symposium on Dynamics and Stability of Fluid Interfaces, which will be held April 2-5, 2018 at the University of Florida, Gainesville. The symposium will focus on the simulation and modeling of interfaces between fluids and fluids/solids. Two phase flows are key to processes including additive manufacturing, coating, flow in porous media, aircraft de-icing, and many other natural and engineered flows. The symposium will bring together computational and modeling experts to address major issues in fluid interfaces and contact lines. Featured lectures by leading experts and round-table discussions will provide a range of learning and networking opportunities for early career scientists and students. The conference is timely in terms of the technical impact and translation to applications. While major advances have been made in the numerical simulation of interfacial dynamics and accurate solutions from first principles can be obtained, the cost of such simulations severely restricts their usefulness. In addition, because topology changes and contact line dynamics take place below the grid resolution, obtaining grid-independent results remains challenging. The availability of reliable reduced-order models to represent sub-grid scale physics would reduce computational costs. Thus, it is timely to bring computational and modeling experts together. Encouraging the participation of young investigators will help fill a national need to train a future work force in interfacial fluid mechanics and will provide a unique opportunity for young investigators to interact with leading researchers and industrial practitioners in this area.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.

该奖项将支持IUTAM ITAM界面动力学和稳定性的学生和博士后科学家和工程师的参与，该研讨会将于2018年4月2日至5日在佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔大学举行。研讨会将集中于流体和流体/固体之间界面的仿真和建模。两个相流是过程的关键，包括增材制造，涂料，多孔媒体中的流量，飞机去冰以及许多其他天然和工程流动。研讨会将汇集计算和建模专家，以解决流体界面和接触线的主要问题。领先的专家和圆桌讨论的特色讲座将为早期的职业科学家和学生提供一系列学习和网络机会。会议在技术影响和应用程序的翻译方面是及时的。尽管可以从第一原理的界面动力学和准确的解决方案的数值模拟中取得了重大进展，但此类模拟的成本严重限制了它们的实用性。此外，由于拓扑变化和接触线动态发生在网格分辨率以下，因此获得与网格无关的结果仍然具有挑战性。可靠的降级模型的可用性代表子网格量表物理，将降低计算成本。因此，将计算和建模专家聚集在一起是及时的。鼓励年轻调查人员的参与将有助于满足培训未来界面流体机制的未来劳动力的国家需求，并将为年轻的研究人员与该领域的领先研究人员和工业从业人员进行互动的独特机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
