Proposal for travel support for students and young researchers to attend the Summer School on "Complex- and Bio- Fluids", June, 2009, Corsica, France.

复杂流体在许多工业应用中是丰富的，例如，乳液和泡沫，并且通常在生物学中发现，例如，血液和滑液这些材料表现出丰富的动态宏观行为，这源于外部强迫（流动）和微观结构之间的相互作用变形的微观结构松弛的内在机制，如在聚合物反冲或细胞形状松弛。理解微尺度物理仍然是一个主要的开放性研究问题。软材料和生物材料的非平衡动力学可以说是生物物理学中最大的问题之一。国际暑期学校“复杂和生物流体”将提供一个论坛，讨论软材料流动建模的挑战和方法。此外，它将促进不同学科（物理学，工程学，应用数学，计算机科学，生物学和医学）以及不同世代（专家高级科学家和学生）之间的互动。该奖项将为未来的专家级高级科学家提供旅行支持。

Complex fluids are abundant in many industrial applications, e.g., emulsions and foams, and commonly found in biology, e.g., blood and synovial fluid. These materials exhibit rich dynamic macroscopic behavior that stems from the interplay between microstructure distortion by external forcing (flow) and microstructure relaxation by intrinsic mechanisms as in polymer recoiling or cell shape relaxation. Understanding the microscale physics remains a major open research problem. The non-equilibrium dynamics of soft- and bio-materials is arguably one of the biggest questions in biophysics. The international summer school 'Complex- and Bio-Fluids' will provide a forum for discussion about the challenges and approaches in modeling flows of soft materials. Moreover, it will foster interactions between different disciplines (physics, engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, biology and medical science) as well as different generations (expert senior scientists and students). This award will provide travel support for the future expert senior scientists.
