Travel Support for U.S. Participants Attending the Eighth Conference of the International Marangoni Association

CBET - 1640677PI: Narayanan， ranga该奖项将支持科学家和工程师参加将于2016年6月12日至16日在德国Ban Honnef举行的第八届国际Marangoni协会会议。本系列第八次会议的主题是界面流体动力学与过程。会议将重点讨论在材料加工、生物运输和环境修复方面的工业和实际应用。要解决的基本问题包括晶体生长和凝固，气液系统，玻璃加工中的气泡动力学，以及各种应用中的多相流现象。会议将有来自学术界和工业界的演讲者，并将组织促进学术研究人员与国际工业同行之间的联系。将为新兴科学家提供支持，包括学生、博士后和初级教师，以帮助他们增加参与。会议主题将集中在研究和工业实践的界面，包括蒸发和干燥，液体桥，液滴形成和扩散，颗粒积聚和涂膜，层状流体，表面活性剂和泡沫，以及电流体动力学。会议记录将发表在《欧洲物理杂志》上。鼓励年轻研究人员的参与将有助于填补国家在界面流体力学方面培养未来工作人员的需要，并将为年轻研究人员提供与该领域的主要研究人员和工业实践者互动的独特机会。

CBET - 1640677PI: Narayanan, RangaThis award will support participation of scientists and engineers at the Eighth Conference of the International Marangoni Association, which will be held June 12-16, 2016 in Ban Honnef, Germany. The theme of the eighth conference in this series is Interfacial Fluid Dynamics and Processes. The conference will focus on industrial and practical applications in materials processing, biological transport and environmental remediation. Fundamental problems to be addressed include crystal growth and solidification, gas-liquid systems, bubble dynamics in glass processing, and multiphase flow phenomena in a variety of applications. The conference will have a balance of speakers from academia and industry and will be organized to promote connections between academic investigators and their international industrial counterparts. Support will be provided to emerging scientists, including students, post-docs, and junior faculty to help increase their participation.Session topics will focus at the interface of research and industrial practice and will include evaporation and drying, liquid bridges, droplet formation and spreading, particle accumulation and coating films, layered fluids, surfactants and foams, and electrohydrodynamics. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the European Journal of Physics. Encouraging the participation of young investigators will help fill a national need to train a future work force in interfacial fluid mechanics and will provide a unique opportunity for young investigators to interact with leading researchers and industrial practitioners in this area.
