Conference: Western States Section of the Combustion Institute Spring Meeting 2022

该奖项的目的是为燃烧研究所西部州分会2022年春季技术会议提供支持，该会议将于2022年3月21日至22日由斯坦福大学主办。这次会议更广泛的意义和重要性是为研究生、博士后、教师和其他研究人员提供了一个论坛，以交流和分享这一研究领域的进展。这次会议聚集了来自美国西海岸和山区的学术界、工业界和政府的燃烧研究人员。会议的技术计划包括一系列全体演讲、口头报告和非正式聚会。来自NSF的资金将用于支持参加会议的学生。燃烧研究所是组织这次会议的首要学术组织。会议通过全体讲座和口头报告促进了燃烧研究成果的交流。与国际和国内会议不同，论文截止日期仅在会议前几周，允许参与者展示全新的成果。所要求的论文不是正式出版物，这一事实也允许参与者展示正在进行的工作。这两个因素都加强了会议的信息交流。会议汇集了主要专家，在几个领域进行全体会议。会议将包括计算和数据密集型研究、爆轰和超音速燃烧、诊断、火灾研究、异质燃烧/喷雾和液滴、集成电路发动机、燃气轮机和火箭、层流火焰、新型能量转换技术、反应动力学和燃料、烟灰和纳米材料、湍流火焰等主题领域。本次会议的特别重点是研究生和本科生：为这些学生提供一个机会来展示他们的研究并获得反馈，提高他们的口头表达和技术写作技能。国家科学基金会的资助将用于向非本地学生提供旅费补助，并为本地学生提供注册支持，以增加学生对会议的参与，特别是来自代表性不足的院校的学生，这些院校可能没有经济能力完全支持学生参加会议。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The objective of this award is to provide support for the 2022 Spring Technical Meeting of the Western States Section of the Combustion Institute, which will be hosted by Stanford University March 21-22, 2022. The broader significance and importance of this meeting is providing a forum for graduate students, postdoctoral students, faculty and other researchers to network and share progress in this area of research. This conference is a gathering of combustion researchers in academia, industry, and government from the West Coast and Mountain regions of the United States. The conference's technical program consists of a series of plenary lectures, contributed oral presentations, and informal gatherings. The funding from NSF will be used to support students who attend the meeting. The combustion institute is the premier academic organization organizing this conference. The conference facilitates the exchange of combustion research results through plenary lectures and oral presentations. Unlike the International and National meetings, the paper deadline is only a few weeks before the conference, allowing participants to showcase brand new results. The fact that the required paper is not a formal publication also allows participants to present work in progress. Both of these factors enhance the information exchange at the conference. The conference brings together leading experts to give plenary talks in several areas. Sessions will include the topic areas of Computationally and Data Intensive Research, Detonations and Supersonic Combustion, Diagnostics, Fire Research, Heterogeneous Combustion/Spray and Droplets, IC Engines, Gas Turbines, and Rockets, Laminar Flames, Novel Energy Conversion Techniques, Reaction Kinetics and Fuels, Soot and Nanomaterials, Turbulent Flames. A particular focus of this conference is on graduate and undergraduate students: providing an opportunity for these students to present and get feedback on their research and enhancing their oral presentation and technical writing skills. The support from NSF will be used to award travel grants to non-local students and registration support for local students in an effort to increase student participation at the meeting, particularly students from underrepresented institutions that may not have the financial means to fully support student travel to conferences.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.
