Conference on Vortex Rings in Classical & Quantum Systems; Trieste,Italy at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics; June 6-10, 2005

涡环和涡丝是自然界中非常基本和重要的物体，表现在从几十亿分之一米到银河系维度的尺度上。该领域的广度很大，涉及机械、化学和航空航天工程、应用数学和物理等多个学科。2005年6月6日至10日，将在意大利的里雅斯特的阿卜杜勒·萨拉姆国际理论物理中心举行一次会议，讨论涡环、涡丝和量子湍流的最新研究进展。这次会议的目的是聚集专家、初级研究人员和从事这一领域工作的不同学科的学生，并为特别是年轻研究人员设定进一步研究的方向。这一奖项为本次会议提供了部分支持。NSF的资金将用于支持美国的参与者，特别是研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教职员工，否则他们将无法参加。

Vortex rings and filaments are very fundamental and important objects in nature, manifest on scales from a few billionth of a meter to galactic dimensions. The breadth of the field is large and it spans a wide of range of disciplines such as mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering, applied mathematics and physics. A meeting to discuss latest research advances in Vortex rings, Filaments, and Quantum Turbulence will be held at The Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy from June 6-10, 2005. The purpose of this conference is to bring together experts, junior researchers, and students from various disciplines that work in this field, and set a course of further research particularly for younger researchers. This award provides partial support for this conference. NSF funds will be used to support US participants, particularly graduate students, post doctoral researchers, and junior faculty members who would not otherwise be able to attend.
