1549614(Luo)The proposal seeks funds to partially cover travel expenses of graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and junior faculty members from institutions in the United States to participate in the International Conference for Mesoscopic Methods in Engineering and Science (ICMMES) that will be held July 20-24, 2015 at the Beijing Computational Science Research Center, Beijing, China. An objective of this proposal is to increase US participation in ICMMES and to strengthen the leadership position of US in this fast-growing and promising research field.The main intellectual merit of this conference lies in the exchange of scientific ideas, presentations of cutting edge research, and exposure to a richly diverse array of topics in the area of mesoscopic fluid dynamics. The conference organization is in direct response to the growing interest in multi-scale and multi-physics phenomena observed in nano- or micro-systems and biological systems, and the increasing importance of computational science to research in these disciplines. The conference will be attended by both prominent and young scientists in fluid dynamics, applied and computational mathematics, physics, and computer science, from around the world, who will be discussing research challenges in mesoscopic methods, the theory and modeling of bringing the scales from the molecular to the macroscopic. These methods are promising candidates to effectively connect microscopic and macroscopic physics and thereby substantially extend our analytical and computational capabilities. The focus of ICMMES is mesoscopic/kinetic methods (e.g., lattice Boltzmann equation, lattice gas cellular automata, discrete velocity models, gas-kinetic schemes, dissipative particle dynamics, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, and various novel methods) for computational mechanics in its broadest sense.The broader impact will be to increase participation of students and young scientists who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel to the meeting and pay associated costs. Special consideration will be given to under-represented minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and those in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI).

1549614(Luo)该提案寻求资金来部分支付来自美国机构的研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教员参加国际工程与科学介观方法会议（ICMMES）的旅费，该会议将将于2015年7月20日至24日在中国北京计算科学研究中心举行。该提案的目的是增加美国对 ICMMES 的参与，并加强美国在这个快速发展和有前途的研究领域的领导地位。本次会议的主要智力价值在于交流科学思想、介绍前沿研究，并接触介观流体动力学领域丰富多样的主题。该会议的组织直接响应了人们对纳米或微米系统和生物系统中观察到的多尺度和多物理现象日益增长的兴趣，以及计算科学对这些学科研究的日益重要。来自世界各地的流体动力学、应用和计算数学、物理学和计算机科学领域的杰出科学家和年轻科学家将参加这次会议，他们将讨论介观方法、从尺度中引入尺度的理论和建模方面的研究挑战。从分子到宏观。这些方法是有效连接微观和宏观物理的有希望的候选方法，从而大大扩展我们的分析和计算能力。 ICMMES 的重点是最广泛意义上的计算力学的介观/动力学方法（例如，格子玻尔兹曼方程、格子气体元胞自动机、离散速度模型、气体动力学方案、耗散粒子动力学、平滑粒子流体动力学和各种新颖方法）更广泛的影响将是增加学生和年轻科学家的参与，否则他们将无法负担参加会议的旅费和相关费用。将特别考虑代表性不足的少数族裔、妇女、残疾人以及传统黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 和西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI) 中的人员。
