Workshop on Fluid Motion Driven by Immersed Structures: Analysis, Computation, and Applications

该项目将为研究生和初级教师提供旅费支持，以参加将于2010年8月在菲尔兹研究所举行的浸入式结构驱动流体运动研讨会。会议将围绕三个主题组织：基本控制方程的制定和分析；通过使用适应性、新颖的时间步进方案和并行性来提高准确性和效率的算法和计算问题；应用于生物、物理和工程科学中的问题。本次研讨会的主要目标是推动流固相互作用领域在各个方面的发展，部分是通过聚集一些备受尊敬的应用数学家和工程师，他们同意发表主题演讲。此外，研讨会还将包括两个针对研究生和初级数学家的教程，目的是为年轻科学家提供培训机会。通过提供旅行支持，研讨会将促进研究生和本科生接触最先进的最新研究。研讨会将汇集应用数学和工程领域的先驱，他们致力于模拟流体和浸入式结构之间相互作用的先进计算技术。人们对这些技术的发展和应用产生了极大的兴趣，在很大程度上是因为它们在生物学和医学上的大量应用。例如，这些技术已被用于模拟心脏瓣膜周围的流体流动，从而为人造心脏二尖瓣的设计提供见解。此外，认识到培养年轻科学家的承诺对一个领域的持续发展和成功至关重要，研讨会将通过提供旅行支持和确保主题讲座的可访问性来吸引年轻参与者（研究生和年轻教师）。

This project will provide travel support for graduate students and junior faculty to attend the Workshop on Fluid Motion Driven by Immersed Structures, to be held in August of 2010 at the Fields Institute. The meeting will be organized around three main themes: formulation and analysis of the underlying governing equations; algorithmic and computational issues related to increasing accuracy and efficiency through use of adaptivity, novel time-stepping schemes and parallelism; applications to problems in the biological, physical and engineering sciences. The principal goal of this workshop is to advance the field of fluid-structure interactions on various fronts, in part, via the gathering of a number of highly-respected applied mathematicians and engineers, who have agreed to present keynote lectures. In addition, the workshop will include two tutorials targeted to graduate students and junior mathematicians, with the goal of providing training opportunities to young scientists. By providing travel support, the workshop will facilitate the exposure of graduate and undergraduate students to state-of-the-art current research.The workshop will bring together pioneers in both applied mathematics and engineering, who work on advanced computational techniques for simulating the interactions between fluid and an immersed structure. There is tremendous interest in the development and application of such techniques, in large part, because of the multitude of applications in biology and medicine. For example, these techniques have been used to simulate fluid flows around heart valves, so to shed insights into the design of prosthetic mitral heart valves. Also, recognizing that a commitment to nurturing young scientists is essential to the continued growth and success of a field, the workshop will attract junior participants (graduate students and junior faculty) by providing travel support and by making sure that keynote lectures are accessible.
