REU Site: University of Hawai'i (UH) High Performance Computing (HPC) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Applications in Engineering

提案编号0852082 P。I. ?苏珊·T该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。“这个为期三年的REU网站计划在夏威夷大学将提供研究经验，为10名本科生，每年在工程应用领域的计算流体动力学（CFD）使用高性能计算（HPC）。 该计划的主要目标是：（1）将工程本科生引入工程中的HPC应用;（2）为不太可能有这种经验的学生提供研究经验（3）通过学生的项目推进机械和土木工程的研究，以及（4）鼓励更多的学生，特别是来自代表性不足的群体，追求研究生学习和工程职业。 首先，学生将参加概述和介绍性讲座，奠定理论基础，再加上使用商业CFD软件的实践教程。 学生们将与他们的导师团队合作，在海啸对结构的影响，散热器的热流体建模和海啸建模领域开展CFD的高级应用。 他们还将有机会与北极地区超级计算机中心（ARSC）的顶级超级计算机以及本地计算机合作，研究当今研究环境中一些最先进的工程问题。 该计划将以学生以会议形式向他们的导师和同行以及其他受邀嘉宾介绍他们的工作而达到高潮。这个REU网站的更广泛的影响来自本科生谁是在工程和科学代表性不足的少数民族的参与。这些学生参与使用高性能计算的计算流体动力学令人兴奋的研究，提高了他们考虑研究生学习的可能性，并扩大了国家技术人力的基础。 研究结果将在会议上传播，（即ASME海洋、近海和北极工程会议、ASCE/SEI结构大会、国际桥梁和结构工程协会（IABSE专题讨论会）和ASME国际机械工程大会和博览会（IMECE），以及若干期刊（即International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer、ASME Journal of Heat Transfer、ASCE Structures Journal等）。

Proposal No. 0852082P. I. ? Susan T. Brown"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."This three-year REU site program at the University of Hawaii will provide research experiences for ten undergraduate students each year in the area of Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using High Performance Computing (HPC). The primary objectives of the program are to: (1) introduce engineering undergraduates to HPC applications in engineering; (2 provide research experiences for students that are unlikely to have such experiences (3) advance the research in Mechanical and Civil Engineering through the students' projects, and (4) encourage more students, especially from underrepresented groups to pursue graduate studies and careers in engineering. First, the students will participate in overview and introductory lectures to lay the theoretical foundations, coupled with hands-on tutorials using commercial CFD software. Working in teams with their mentors, the students will carry out advanced applications of CFD in the area of tsunami impact on structures, thermal-fluid modeling of heat sinks, and tsunami modeling. They will also have the opportunity to work with top-of-the-line supercomputers at the Arctic Region Supercomputer Center (ARSC) as well as on local computers, working on some of the most advanced engineering problems in today's research environment. The program will culminate with students' making presentations of their work, in a conference format, to their mentors and peers and other invited guests. The broader impacts of this REU Site arise from the participation of undergraduate students who are underrepresented minorities in engineering and science. The involvement of these students in exciting research in Computational Fluid Dynamics using High Performance Computing enhances the likelihood that they will consider post-graduate study and broaden the base of the Nation's technical manpower. Results of the research will be disseminated at conferences, (i.e. ASME Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering Conference, ASCE/SEI Structures Congress, International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE Symposia) and ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) and in several journals (i.e. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, ASCE Structures Journal, etc.).
