The Center for Turbulence Research Summer Program

该提案寻求资金，用于支付受邀演讲者和学生参与者的部分旅费，以及与2018年6月24日至7月20日在斯坦福大学举行的名为“湍流研究中心暑期项目”的研讨会相关的组织费用。这将是这个两年一度的项目由湍流研究中心(CTR)组织的第18次。根据参与者的研究方案和研究资历的优劣，采用竞争性程序来选择参与者。CTR暑期班项目是一次身临其境的亲身实践会议，重点是询问数值模拟数据库，以检验参与者提出的模型和假设。会议涵盖了湍流研究的许多重要领域，如不稳定和转变、大涡模拟、雷诺平均模拟、多相湍流、燃烧以及质量和热量的湍流传输。生成新数据库的附加计算通常在夏季计划期间执行。参与者根据他们建议的研究领域被分成焦点小组。来自世界各地的杰出和年轻的科学家将出席会议，他们将讨论未来的研究方向和研究挑战。会议还将促进研究人员之间的思想交流，并将解决在未来两到五年内推进该领域所涉及的建模挑战。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。

The proposal seeks funds to partially cover travel expenses of invited speakers and student participants and organizing expenses related to the workshop entitled "The Center for Turbulence Research Summer Program," to be held at Stanford University during June 24-July 20, 2018. This would be the 18th time that this biennial program is organized by the Center for Turbulence Research (CTR). A competitive process is used to select the participants, based on the merits of their research proposals and their research credentials. The CTR summer school program is an immersive, hands-on meeting that focuses on interrogation of numerical simulation databases for testing of models and hypotheses proposed by the participants. The meeting covers many important areas of turbulent flow research, such as instabilities and transition, large eddy simulation, Reynolds averaged modeling, multiphase turbulent flows, combustion, and turbulent transport of mass and heat. Additional calculations to generate new databases are often performed during the Summer Program. The participants are divided into focus groups based on their proposed areas of research. The meeting will be attended by both prominent and young scientists from around the world, who will be discussing future directions of research and research challenges. The meeting will also foster cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers and will address modeling challenges involved in advancing the field for the next two to five years.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.
