12th Northeastern Granular Materials Workshop, June 6, 2014, Providence, RI

1441887 PI：大卫汉南机构：布朗大学名称：第12届东北颗粒材料研讨会这个奖项将有助于支持一个技术会议，题为，？第12届东北颗粒材料研讨会？ 该会议将于2014年6月6日在罗德岛州普罗维登斯的布朗大学举行，将汇集约50名领先的研究人员，博士后学生和研究生，介绍他们对颗粒材料的研究。 颗粒状材料是指由空气或液体中的颗粒组成的流体-颗粒系统。 颗粒材料存在于许多工业、消费品、医疗保健和食品中。 了解这些材料的行为将提高制造效率，提高产品质量，减少浪费，并导致新的先进产品的开发。 该研讨会将为研究人员提供该领域当前研究的概述，并激发参与者之间的新合作。 研讨会将邀请年轻的研究人员参加，包括初级教师，学生和博士后学生，他们将能够会见该领域的领导者和其他机构的同行。研讨会将包括介绍最新的实验，理论和计算研究，如颗粒包装，堵塞，流变学，流动，波传播，离散系统的连续模型，多孔介质流动和地质力学。研讨会还将包括对相关材料和其他无序和玻璃状系统的研究，如悬浮液，乳液，胶体和泡沫。这一广泛的观点将有助于研讨会与会者确定这些类别的材料之间的关键相似性和差异。 研讨会的参与者将代表一系列学术领域，包括工程，物理和数学，这说明了颗粒系统研究的跨学科性质。

1441887PI: David HanannInstitution: Brown UniversityTitle: 12th Northeastern Granular Materials WorkshopThis award will help support a technical meeting entitled, ?12th Northeastern Granular Materials Workshop?. The conference, which will be held June 6, 2014 at Brown University in Providence, RI, will bring together about 50 leading researchers, postdoctoral students and graduate students to present their research on granular materials. Granular materials refer to fluid-particle systems composed of particles in air or in a liquid. Granular materials are found in many industrial, consumer, healthcare, and food products. Understanding the behavior of these materials will improve manufacturing efficiency, enhance product quality, reduce waste, and lead to the development of new advanced products. This workshop will provide researchers with an overview of current research in the field as well as stimulate new collaborations among participants. The workshop will enlist participation of young researchers, including junior faculty members, students, and post-doctoral students, who will be able to meet leaders in the field and their peers at other institutions.The workshop will include presentations describing the latest experimental, theoretical and computational research on such topics as granular packing, jamming, rheology, flow, wave propagation, continuum models for discrete systems, porous media flows, and geomechanics. The workshop will also include research on related materials and other disordered and glassy systems, such as suspensions, emulsions, colloids, and foams. This broad view will help workshop participants to identify key similarities and differences between these classes of materials. Workshop participants will represent an array of academic fields, including engineering, physics and mathematics, which illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of research in granular systems.
