U.S.-France (INRIA) Cooperative Research: Mathematics and Computational Questions in Fluid Mechanics and Combustion

该奖项将支持印第安纳大学布鲁明顿分校和法国国家信息科学与自动化研究所(INRIA)两个美国和法国科学家在应用数学和计算数学方面的合作研究。美国小组将由David Hoff教授领导；法国方面，该项目将由INRIA的Bernard Larrouturou博士和巴黎南部大学Numerique实验室的Roger Temam博士领导。这项研究将集中在与反应性和非反应性流体流动有关的一些问题上。该项目分为以下几个方面：1.Navier-Stokes方程和湍流2.反应扩散系统和燃烧问题的数值方法3.反应性和非反应性可压缩流动4.无碰撞等离子体流动和Vlasov-Maxwell方程这项研究加入了美国和法国两组杰出的应用数学家的行列。INRIA因其集中了计算机研究、自动化、数学和科学计算方面的专业知识而得到广泛认可；它将基础研究与这些领域的工业合作完美地结合在一起。这一奖项将允许在流体力学和燃烧理论的重要领域继续进行富有成效的合作。

This award will support collaborative research in applied and computational mathematics between two groups of U.S. and French scientists, based at the University of Indiana at Bloomington and the French National Institute for Information Science and Automation (INRIA). The U.S. group will be led by Professor David Hoff; on the French side the project will be led by Dr. Bernard Larrouturou, INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis and Dr. Roger Temam, Laboratoire d'Analyse Numerique, University of Paris-South. The research will focus on a number of problems concerning reacting and nonreacting fluid flows. The project is subdivided into the following areas: 1. Navier-Stokes equations and turbulence 2. Numerical methods for reaction - diffusion systems and combustion problems 3. Reacting and nonreacting compressible flows 4. Flows of collisionless plasmas and the Vlasov-Maxwell Equations This research joins two groups of outstanding U.S. and French applied mathematicians. INRIA is widely recognized for its concentration of expertise in computer research, automation, mathematics and scientific computing; it provides an excellent combination of fundamental research with industrial collaboration in these areas. This award will allow fruitful collaboration to continue in the important area of fluid mechanics and combustion theory.
