Symposium on Turbulence and Combustion

0936467柯伊 一个关于湍流和燃烧的特别研讨会将于2009年8月3日至4日在纽约州伊萨卡的康奈尔大学举行。研讨会的总体目标是通过一个旨在促进这两个研究团体的主要成员之间互动的论坛，促进湍流和燃烧研究的未来进展。 研讨会计划将包括12场由该领域世界级专家主讲的特邀讲座，两次海报会议，一次公开论坛和其他鼓励讨论的非正式活动。NSF的资金主要用于为在美国陪同学术邀请者的年轻参与者提供旅行支持。已作出安排，在《流动、湍流和燃烧》杂志上出版专题讨论会同行评议文章的特刊，专题讨论会方案委员会的两名成员被指定为客座编辑。研讨会的贡献包括湍流分散，壁边界流，混合，有限速率化学等方面的工作，使用实验，建模和计算，并将包括来自学术界，国家实验室和工业界的领先研究人员的国际社区的观点。组织者能够将这群世界级的专家和有前途的年轻研究人员聚集在一起，是因为Stephen B教授的存在。康奈尔大学的波普波普教授在这两个领域的特殊贡献和学术影响将以非正式的方式得到适当的承认。 讨论期和一个开放的论坛预计将产生新的动力跨社区之间的合作研究人员在湍流和燃烧。我们研究界的年轻成员出席了研讨会，可能会通过与来自世界各地的顶级专家的密切互动找到灵感。最后，将通过网站的电子媒介，以及在跨越学科界限的相对广泛的期刊上发表更传统的特刊来实现长期影响。研讨会将为严格研究湍流燃烧的科学复杂性提供新的机会，湍流燃烧占世界能源生产的很大一部分，并对全球环境质量产生重大影响。

0936467Caughey A special Symposium on Turbulence and Combustion is to be held at Cornell University in Ithaca NY, on August 3-4, 2009. The overall goal of the symposium is to promote future advances in the study of turbulence and combustion, through a forum intended to foster interactions between leading members of these two research communities. The symposium program will consist of twelve invited lectures given by world-class experts in the field, two poster sessions, an open forum, and other informal activities to encourage discussion. NSF funds are requested primarily to provide travel support for younger participants accompanying academic invitees in the US. Arrangements have been made to publish a special issue of peer-reviewed articles from the symposium in the journal Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, with two members of the Symposium Program Committee designated as guest editors. The symposium contributions include work on turbulent dispersion, wall-bounded flows, mixing, finite-rate chemistry, and others, using experiment, modeling, and computations, and will include perspectives from an international community of leading researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry. The organizers' ability to bring together this group of world-class experts and promising young researchers is enabled by the presence of Professor Stephen B. Pope at Cornell. Professor Pope's special contributions and scholarly influence on both fields will be appropriately recognized in an informal manner. Discussion periods and an open forum are expected to generate new impetus towards cross-community collaborations between researchers in turbulence and combustion. Younger members of our research community in attendance are likely to find inspiration through close interaction with top experts from around the world at the symposium. Finally, long term impact will be achieved via the electronic medium of a website, and a more traditional special volume publication in a journal of relatively broad scope cutting across disciplinary boundaries. The symposium will present new opportunities for rigorous study of the scientific complexities of turbulent combustion, which accounts for a large fraction of the world's energy production, and has significant impact on environmental quality worldwide.
