International Workshop on Soot Formation

提案编号：CTS-0646984主要研究员：王，海南附属：南加州大学提案标题：烟尘形成国际研讨会本提案旨在组织一次关于“燃烧中的烟尘形成”的国际研讨会。来自工业界、政府和学术界的国际知名专家将参加研讨会，讨论与环境空气质量相关的烟尘形成问题。知识价值：将重点放在煤烟作为PM23的主要贡献者和环境中细颗粒物的数密度的相关问题，这两个问题都与一些不利的健康影响有关。论坛将包括专家概述介绍、研讨会会议、小组介绍和讨论以及专题会议。预期成果是：1.审查对烟尘形成机制、新数据和方法的理解现状，以及应用烟尘模型解决实际问题的进展2。讨论和确定存在差异的领域和今后研究的优先事项3。制定煤烟社区合作计划。研讨会将通过解决理解煤烟形成的关键实验、理论和模型问题，对未来十年的煤烟研究产生影响。更广泛的影响：与煤烟形成相关的问题是全球性的，因此需要通过全球合作找到全球解决方案。研讨会将由全球社区参加。被邀请的演讲者是来自不同部门的顶尖专家，他们被选中从国际和多学科的角度讨论这一专题的各个角度。拟议论坛的重要成果包括在会议主题领域的国际研究伙伴关系和协作团队努力。将特别重视招募和促进任职人数不足的群体(如任职人数不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人)参与科学和工程工作。讨论结果将总结成一本书，该书将由卡尔斯鲁厄大学出版社出版。此外，专题介绍和讨论将通过万维网在线提供。

ABSTRACTProposal Number: CTS-0646984Principal Investigator: Wang, HaiAffiliation: University of Southern CaliforniaProposal Title: International Workshop on Soot FormationThis proposal is for the organization of an international workshop on "Soot Formation in Combustion". The workshop would be attended by internationally known experts from industry, government, and academia to discuss soot formation issues related to related to ambient air quality. Intellectual Merit:Emphasis will be on the issues related to soot as a major contributor to PM23 and to the number density of ambient fine particles, both of which have been implicated with a number of adverse health impacts. The forum will consist of overview presentations by experts, workshop sessions, panel presentations and discussions, and focus meetings. The expected outcomes are: 1. review of the current status of understanding of soot formation mechanisms, new data and methodologies, and advances in the application of soot models to solve practical problems2. discussion and identification of areas of discrepancy and the priorities for future research3. development of plans for collaboration in the soot community.The workshop will impact soot research over the next decade by addressing the key experimental, theoretical and modeling issues in understanding soot formation. Broader Impact:The problems related to soot formation are global and as such require global solutions, through global collaboration. The workshop will be attended by a global community. The invited speakers are among the top experts from various sectors, selected to cover various angles of this topic from an international and multi-disciplinary perspective. Important outcomes of the proposed Forum include international research partnerships and collaborative team efforts in the theme areas of the meeting. Special emphasis will be given to recruit and facilitate the participation of underrepresented groups in science and engineering (e.g., underrepresented minorities, women and persons with disabilities). The results of discussion will be summarized in a book which will be published by the Karlsruhe University Press. In addition, presentations and discussions will be made available online through the World Wide Web.
