The understanding of fluid motion and heat transfer is fundamental in solving some of mankind's most pressing scientific problems. Some examples include: 1) understanding how heat is transferred between the oceans and atmosphere to improve global climate models and better understand the impact of climate change, 2) development of methods to sequester carbon dioxide, before it is emitted into the atmosphere, in underground wells by studying how carbon dioxide is transported through rocks, and 3) understanding how the motion of fluid inside of bones affects how bones grow, develop, age, and respond to diseases such as osteoporosis. The acquisition of a stereoscopic Molecular Tagging Velocimetry/Molecular Tagging Thermometry (sMTV/MTT system will provide unique experimental capabilities for investigation of the fluid-flow and fluid-structure interaction aspects of these problems. The MTV/MTT system will enhance collaborative research across academic departments and disciplines, provide state-of-the-art instrumentation for training of graduate and undergraduate students interested in emerging areas of engineering mechanics and biology, and help in the recruitment of students from underrepresented groups by adding advanced experimental capabilities to fluid-flow laboratory and wind tunnel facilities. This equipment will enhance experiential project-based learning, and aid in soliciting students to participate to such projects. It will positively impact outreach to the K-12 community of students and teachers through laboratory demonstrations and web site displays. The final outcome of acquisition of this equipment will be to support the educational mission of Clarkson University on multiple levels through the training and involvement of graduate and undergraduate students in educational experiences outside of the classroom.

对流体运动和传热的理解对于解决人类一些最紧迫的科学问题至关重要。一些例子包括：1) 了解热量如何在海洋和大气之间传递，以改进全球气候模型并更好地了解气候变化的影响，2) 开发在地下将二氧化碳排放到大气中之前封存的方法通过研究二氧化碳如何通过岩石运输，以及3）了解骨骼内部液体的运动如何影响骨骼的生长、发育、老化以及对骨质疏松症等疾病的反应。获得立体分子标记测速/分子标记测温（sMTV/MTT 系统）将为研究这些问题的流体流动和流体-结构相互作用方面提供独特的实验能力。MTV/MTT 系统将增强跨学术界的协作研究部门和学科，为培训对工程力学和生物学新兴领域感兴趣的研究生和本科生提供最先进的仪器，并通过增加先进的实验能力来帮助招收代表性不足的群体的学生该设备将增强基于项目的体验式学习，并帮助吸引学生参与此类项目，并将通过实验室演示和网络对 K-12 学生和教师社区产生积极影响。购买该设备的最终结果将是通过培训研究生和本科生并让他们参与课堂外的教育体验，在多个层面上支持克拉克森大学的教育使命。
