U.S. China Joint Research: Research in Relaxation Models for Phase Transitions

小行星9601376 该奖项支持两名美国研究人员，威斯康星州大学的马歇尔斯莱姆罗德和格鲁吉亚理工学院的石进，与中国上海复旦大学的郑松木和中国科学院系统科学研究所的王京华合作研究动态相变的弛豫模型。 该项目将采用正式和严格的数学分析，数值分析和科学计算来研究许多重要物理过程中出现的动态相变。 这项研究解决了材料和工艺建模中的一个重要问题。 加强与中国在数学和计算科学方面的合作非常重要，中国在数学方面有着悠久的传统，最近又强调了计算科学。 中国科学院系统科学研究所和复旦大学数学研究所是中国在这些领域的领先中心，这些研究人员之间的合作应该是相当有效的。

9601376 Slemrod This award supports participation of two US investigators, Marshall Slemrod of the University of Wisconsin and Shi Jin of Georgia Institute of Technology, in a cooperative research project on relaxation models for dynamic phase transitions with Zheng Songmu from Fudan University, Shanghai, China and Wang Jinghua from the Institute of System Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. The project will employ formal and rigorous mathematical analysis, numerical analysis and scientific computation to investigate dynamic phase transitions arising in many important physical processes. This research addresses an important problem in modeling materials and processes. Strengthening cooperation in mathematics and computation sciences with China, which has a long tradition of excellence in mathematics and a recent emphasis in computational science, is important. The Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Systems Science and the Mathematics Institute at Fudan University are leading centers in China in these fields, and collaboration among these researchers should prove quite effective.
