Interdisciplinary Transport Phenomena VII, September 18-23, 2011, Dresden, Germany

1131833PI奖：Sadhal，S.S.会议的主要目标是在流体、热学、生物、材料和空间科学领域从事科学和技术工作的不同科学家和工程师之间传播和交流新的技术信息和想法，并专注于运输现象。在这一共同主题下，会议将交流有关新的科学成果的信息，特别是关于跨学科方面的信息。在自然科学和工程学的许多领域中，包含热量和质量传递的传输现象确实是无处不在的。虽然过去二十年的研究为各种物理现象提供了重要的新见解，但新的和即将到来的科学问题给现代科学研究带来了跨学科的维度。目前，仍然需要为其中流体流动和其他传输过程形成许多研究的共同基础的研究提供方向。例如，在生理学和医学以及材料加工方面，流体、热学和质量传输方面在不同的研究人员中占据了首要地位，专业知识的分享已经成为技术和科学进步的必要条件。来自NSF的资金将使一些主要的美国组织者能够参加会议，并为吸引一些顶级主旨演讲者提供支持，此外还将为学生、女性和代表不足的少数族裔提供一些支持。主办方认识到为属于各种研究组织的不同研究人员群体交流思想提供一个论坛的重要性。拟议中的会议将在交通现象这一共同主题下提供思想的自由流动。促进健康的新研究项目，并寻求带来互动，使科学家能够相互称赞？在具有跨学科特征的新领域拥有不同的专业知识。

Award 1131833PI: Sadhal, S. S.The main objectives of the conference are to disseminate and exchange new technical information and ideas among the various scientists and engineers working in Science and Technology with Fluid, Thermal, Biological, Materials and Space Sciences, and focusing on Transport Phenomena. Under this common theme, the conference will provide for the exchange of information on new scientific results, particularly concerning interdisciplinary aspects. Transport Phenomena encompassing both heat and mass transfer is indeed ubiquitous to many areas in the natural sciences, as well as engineering. While research over the last two decades has provided significant new insight into various physical phenomena, the new and upcoming scientific problems have brought about the interdisciplinary dimension to modern scientific research. Presently, there continues to be a need to provide direction for research in which fluid flow and other transport processes to form a common basis for many investigations. For example, in physiology and medicine, as well as materials processing, fluid, thermal and mass-transport aspects have gained primacy among various researchers, and the sharing of expertise has become a necessity for technical and scientific progress. Funding from NSF will enable some of the key US-based organizers to participate in the conference, and also provide support to attract some top-level keynote speakers, and additionally give some support to students, women and under-represented minorities. The organizers have recognized the importance of providing a forum for the exchange of ideas from a diverse group of researchers belonging to various types of research organizations. The proposed conference will provide for the free flow of ideas under this common theme of ?Transport Phenomena? to promote healthy new research programs, and seek to bring interaction whereby scientists may be able to compliment each others? diverse expertise in new areas of interdisciplinary character.
