Meeting: Student Support for US National Combustion Meeting: March 20-23, 2011 in Atlanta, GA

1115167中尉该奖项为研究生参加由燃烧研究所中央州分会组织的第七届美国国家燃烧会议提供支持。会议将于2011年3月20日至23日由乔治亚州亚特兰大的佐治亚理工学院主办。NSF基金的目标是增加研究生参加会议的人数。1999年，国际燃烧学会在美国的三个分会——东部各州、中部各州和西部各州——发起了两年一次的全国性燃烧会议。从出席人数和发言人数来看，这些会议非常成功。因此，这个两年一次的活动已经获得了突出的地位，并成为基础和应用燃烧的首要国家会议。知识价值：会议将包括三天的主要贡献报告，每天组织多个平行会议。（通常有6个或更多的并行会话。）提交的报告将包括讲台和海报报告。每天也会有一些受邀的演讲者。有关研究生旅行支持的信息将在所有会议公告和适当的网站上提供。此外，有关旅行支持的公告将邮寄给燃烧研究所的成员。更广泛的影响：燃烧研究是一个多学科领域，包括工程和科学的不同学科。社会依靠燃烧来发电、运输和制造。这次会议允许专注于燃烧的研究人员在一个激动人心的技术论坛上交流思想。政策制定者也将出席会议，参与信息交流。这项活动的智力价值和更广泛的影响来自于来自美国和其他国家的燃烧专家的参与，他们的技术成果的传播，他们与学生的交流，以及他们对未来研究方向的展望。

1115167LieuwenThis award provides support for graduate-student travel to the 7th US National Combustion Meeting, organized by the Central States Section of the Combustion Institute. The meeting will be hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA from March 20-23, 2011. NSF funds are targeted to increase the participation of graduate students at the meeting.In 1999, the three United States sections of the international Combustion Institute - Eastern States, Central States, and Western States - initiated a biennial series of national meetings on combustion. These meetings have been highly successful, based on the attendance and the number of presentations. Consequently, this biennial event has gained a prominent stature and become the premier national conference in fundamental and applied combustion. Intellectual Merit:The conference will consist of three days of primarily contributed presentations organized in multiple parallel sessions each day. (Typically, there are six or more parallel sessions.) The contributed presentations will include both podium and poster presentations. A few invited speakers will also present each day. Information about the availability of travel support to graduate students will be provided in all the meeting announcements and on appropriate websites. In addition, an announcement about the availability of travel support will be mailed to members of the Combustion Institute.Broader Impacts:Combustion research is a multi-disciplinary field encompassing diverse disciplines in engineering and science. Society relies on combustion for power generation, transportation, and manufacturing. This conference allows combustion-focused researchers to exchange ideas in a stimulating technical forum. Policymakers will also be in attendance to participate in the exchange of information. The intellectual merit and broader Impacts of this activity arise from the participation of combustion experts from across the United States and from various countries, dissemination of their technical findings, their communications with students, and their visions of future research directions.
