CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR COMBUSTION RESEARCH

CBET-0833591 Scott T.魏德曼，美国国家科学院该奖项为美国国家科学院的一项研究提供部分资金，该研究涉及燃烧界面临的研究前沿、其他领域的成功网络基础设施以及燃烧研究网络基础设施计划，该计划将是NSF网络基础设施办公室正在进行的通用网络基础设施规划的更详细和定制的对应物。美国国家科学院数学科学及其应用委员会（BMSA）、化学科学与技术委员会以及计算机科学与电信委员会将为研究委员会确定最佳专家，监督研究进展，并确定报告草案的审查员。 空军科学研究办公室、空军研究实验室、国防部SERDP、陆军研究办公室、国家标准与技术研究所和能源部国家能源技术实验室正在为这项活动提供额外的支持。燃烧研究领域在高端模拟方面具有成熟的能力，但是，要实现向下一代高端计算的飞跃，就必须进行额外的规划，因为下一代高端计算可能具有范式转换的架构。此外，高端模拟的成本已经达到了只有有限数量的设施将可能提供给燃烧社区的地步，因此必须制定计划来利用这些稀缺的资源。燃烧领域也采取了一些步骤来建立数据互操作性，但需要仔细规划，以便在这些步骤的基础上进一步发展。 这是许多领域都面临的挑战，因此，这项研究将推动燃烧和其他科学和工程领域的发展。作为重要背景，本研究将利用和扩展与此主题相关的三个研讨会的成果：燃烧应用的建模和仿真的未来（Pittsburgh PA，2006年2月21-23日，由空军研究实验室和DOE赞助）; NSF举办了一个关于基于网络的燃烧科学的研讨会（阿灵顿VA，2006年4月19-20日，由NSF赞助）;和使用燃烧CI的后续步骤（San Diego CA，2007年3月28-29日，由NSF、AFOSR和ARO主办）。 它还建立在NSF赞助的研究项目化学反应系统过程信息学（CHE-0739655）的基础上。

CBET-0833591 Scott T. Weidman, National Academy of SciencesThis award provides partial funding for a National Academies study of the research frontiers facing the combustion community, successful cyberinfrastructure in other fields, and a plan for cyberinfrastructure for combustion research which will be a more detailed and tailored counterpart to generic cyberinfrastructure planning being carried out by the NSF's Office of Cyberinfrastructure. The National Academies Board on Mathematical Sciences and their Applications (BMSA), Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology, and Computer Science and Telecommunications Board will identify the best experts for the study committee, monitor progress of the study, and identify reviewers for the draft report. Additional support for this activity is being provided by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the DoD SERDP, Army Research Office, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory.The field of combustion research has mature capabilities in high-end simulations, but extra planning will be necessary to make the leap to the next generation of high-end computing, which will likely have paradigm-shifting architecture. In addition, the costs of high-end simulations have reached the point where only a limited number of facilities will likely be available to the combustion community, and so plans must be laid for exploiting those scarce resources. The combustion field has also made some steps to establish data interoperability, but careful planning is necessary in order to build on those steps. This is a challenge that many fields are facing, and this study will thus advance combustion and other fields of science and engineering.As important background, this study will exploit and extend findings from three workshops related to this topic: Future of Modeling and Simulation for Combustion Applications (Pittsburgh PA, February 21-23, 2006, sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory and DOE); NSF held a workshop on Cyber-based Combustion Science (Arlington VA, April 19-20, 2006, sponsored by NSF); and Next Steps in Using Combustion CI (San Diego CA, March 28-29, 2007, hosted by NSF, AFOSR, and ARO). It also builds on the NSF-sponsored research project Process Informatics for Chemical Reaction Systems (CHE-0739655).
