Travel Grant for Second International Workshop on Physico Chemical Phenomena in Materials and Bio Processes; July 14-17, 2004; Brussels. Belgium

本提案是为大约20名美国研究人员前往2004年7月14日至17日在布鲁塞尔举行的第二届物理化学、材料和生物过程中的热、流体和界面现象国际研讨会和会议请求财政支持。这些科学家代表了NSF通过其化学和运输系统部门资助的广泛研究基础。参与者将获得部分旅费支持，剩余部分将由参与者自己的资金或参与者所在机构提供。NSF在2001年支持了第一次这样的会议。然而，2001年秋天的旅行中断使许多美国与会者无法参加，2002年3月，美国科学家参加了第二次会议。这两次会议的论文集已由斯普林格出版社出版成册。该提案的广泛影响包括通过正式出版会议记录进行广泛传播，为来自美国的广泛科学家提供在未来建立合作活动的机会，以及在2001年9月袭击造成的中断之后重建这个会议场所。该奖项由化学和传输系统部门的三个项目共同资助：热传输和热处理项目、界面、传输和热力学项目以及流体动力学和水力学项目。

This proposal is to request financial support for approximately 20 US researchers to travel to the Second International Workshop and Conference on thermal, fluid and interfacial phenomena in physico-chemical, materials and bio- processes in Brussels, July 14-17, 2004. These scientists represent a broad base of research funded by NSF, through its Chemical and Transport Systems Division. The participants will receive partial travel support, with the expectation that the remainder will be provided either from the participant's own funds or the participant's institution. NSF supported the first such conference in 2001. However, the disruption of travel in the fall of 2001 prevented many US participants from attending, and a second meeting was held involving US scientists during March of 2002. The proceedings of the two conferences have been published in a volume published by Springer-Verlag. The Broad Impacts of this proposal include wide dissemination through a formal publication of the proceedings, the opportunity for a wide spectrum of scientists from the US to establish cooperative activities in the future, and the re-establishment of this conference venue after the disruption caused by the September, 2001 attacks. This award has been funded jointly by three programs in the Chemical and Transport Systems Division: the Thermal Transport and Thermal Processing Program, the Interfacial, Transport and Thermodynamics Program, and the Fluid Dynamics and Hydraulics Program.
