Support for International Conference on Numerical Methods in Multiphase Flows, Penn State University, June 12-14, 2012

1240748 PI: kunz考虑到多相流在能源系统、生物医学、国防系统、制造业和环境中的巨大重要性，以及CFD在多相流中日益增长的重要性，执行联合组织者主办了一次关于多相流数值方法主题的专门会议，将国际社会聚集在一个集中的技术交流环境中。ICNMMF的执行组织者认为，多相流数值技术的成熟速度可以而且应该加快。所需要的是在有关该主题的书籍、会议和专门会议的范围内集中强调该主题，这些会议可以使国际社会在一个非常集中的技术交流环境中聚集在一起。正是这后一种需要推动了全国人口基金。ICNMMF的协办单位是多相流建模领域的知名领军人物。在上下文中强调了什么？新方法?，这些人中的每一个人都对拟议的主题清单的汇编作出了贡献，从这些主题清单中征求会议的意见。ICNMMF的主题列表包括：1)直接数值模拟和大涡模拟，2)光滑粒子流体力学，3)欧拉均匀和双流体模型，4)直接正交法，5)拉格朗日方法，6)ALE方法，7)界面捕获技术，8)多尺度方法，9)可压缩多相流，10)高精度通量格式，11)通用高级算法，12)粒子方法，13)不确定性量化，14)晶格玻尔兹曼和分子动力学方法。ICNMMF更广泛的影响是：1)所有作者希望包含在会议DVD中的演讲将在会议结束后立即以电子方式分发给与会者，并通过会议网站向公众分发，该网站将保持在线状态。直到下一届ICNMMF， 2)会议参与者之间的互动，与政府赞助商，工业从业者和实验家的投入，将集中研究工作和研究资金，并在多相流分析的新/现代子学科中产生合作，3)ICNMMF的执行组织者打算将这次会议作为一系列会议中的第一次（我们相信每两年一次）。因此，这第一次会议将为多相流研究社区，特别是能源、生物医学、国防和环境科学，以及更广泛地依赖于多相流科学，创造更长远/更广泛的利益。

1240748 PI: KunzConsidering the vast importance of multiphase flows in energy systems, biomedicine, defense systems, manufacturing, and the environment, and the growing importance of CFD in multiphase flows, the executive co-organizers are hosting a dedicated conference on the topic of numerical methods in multiphase flows, to bring together the international community in a focused technical exchange environment. The executive organizers of ICNMMF believe that the pace of the maturity of the technology of multiphase flow numerics could and should be enhanced. What is needed is focused emphasis on the topic in the context of books, conference sessions, and dedicated conferences on the topic that can bring together the international community in a very focused technical exchange environment. It is this latter need that has motivated ICNMMF.The co-organizers of ICNMMF are a group well-known leaders in the field of multiphase flow modeling. In the context of the emphasis on ?new methods?, each of these individuals has contributed to the assembly of a proposed list of topics from which solicit conference contributions have been solicited. The list of topics for ICNMMF include: 1) Direct Numerical Simulation and Large Eddy Simulation, 2) Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, 3) Eulerian Homogeneous and Two-fluid Models, 4) Direct Quadrature Methods, 5) Lagrangian Methods, 6) ALE Methods, 7) Interface Capturing Techniques, 8) Multiscale Methods, 9) Compressible Multiphase Flows, 10) High-Order Accuracy Flux Schemes, 11) General Advanced Algorithms, 12) Particle Methods, 13) Uncertainty Quantification, 14) Lattice Boltzmann and Molecular Dynamics Methods.The broader impacts of ICNMMF are that: 1) all presentations that authors wish to include in a conference DVD will be distributed to participants electronically immediately after the conference, and to the general public through the conference website, which will remain ?live? until the next ICNMMF, 2) interactions between conference participants, with inputs from government sponsors, industrial practitioners and experimentalists, will focus research endeavors and research funding, and engender collaborations in new/modern sub-disciplines of multiphase flows analysis, 3) the executive organizers of ICNMMF intend this conference to be the first in a series (every two years we believe), and therefore this first meeting will set the stage for a much longer/broader benefit to the multiphase flow community specifically, and more generally, the energy, biomedical, defense, and environmental sciences that have come to depend on this science.
