This three year renewal Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site program, Fluid Mechanics with Analysis using Computations and Experiments (FM-ACE), at the University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, will engage and mentor a diverse cohort of undergraduate students from underrepresented groups with limited access to research facilities in exciting and emerging areas related to fluid mechanics. The field of fluid mechanics is unique in its ability to be visually captivating, making it an excellent area of research for motivating students to pursue graduate study. It is also multidisciplinary in nature as a wide range of engineering disciplines require varying depths of knowledge in fluid mechanics. While many basic aspects of fluid mechanics are well understood, it is still an engaging field of study where innovation and exciting discoveries are actively taking place; this is greatly in part due to the technological advances in experimental and computational capabilities over the last 20 years such as high speed imaging, advanced laser diagnostics and powerful computing. A major aim of this site is to diversify and increase the number of American engineers who pursue a graduate education and enter the engineering work force to perform cutting edge research leading to technological innovation in areas of public and national defense interest, thereby furthering our country's prosperity. The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa will host 10 undergraduate students over 10 summer weeks in exciting and emerging areas related to fluid mechanics with an end goal of presenting their research the following November at the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics (APS DFD) conference. This component of the program acts as an important follow-through mechanism to further encourage REU participants to pursue graduate studies and contributes to the success of the site by motivating both the student and mentors to obtain quality research results. Other important objectives include providing a structure wherein research and technical communication skills are cultivated. This site involves basic and applied research in fluid mechanics across a range of engineering disciplines as well as the training of undergraduate students in state-of-the-art laboratory environments. Students will contribute to projects that include, as a sampling, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) investigations of bio-inspired boundary layer control mechanisms, combustion studies using a color schlieren system, and computational aeroacoustics.

在阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨大学（University of Alabama Tuscaloosa）的本科生（REU）现场计划，通过计算和实验（FM-ACE）进行分析的三年更新研究经验，将与不足的群体互动并指导多样化的本科生，这些群体来自较少代表性的研究机构，可在相关和emerigign and Inveligency and Interigens and Interigence of Research Ankities and Intery and Emerigy机制中访问液体机制。流体力学领域在视觉上吸引人的能力是独一无二的，这使其成为激励学生进行研究生学习的重要研究领域。它本质上也是多学科的，因为广泛的工程学科需要不同的流体力学知识深度。尽管人们对流体力学的许多基本方面有充分的了解，但它仍然是一个引人入胜的研究领域，在该领域中，创新和令人兴奋的发现正在积极进行。这在很大程度上是由于过去20年来实验和计算能力的技术进步，例如高速成像，高级激光诊断和强大的计算。该网站的主要目的是使接受研究生教育的美国工程师多样化和增加工程劳动力，以进行尖端研究，从而在公共和国防利益领域进行技术创新，从而进一步促进我们国家的繁荣。阿拉巴马大学的塔斯卡卢萨大学将在10个夏季的10周内在与流体力学有关的令人兴奋的新兴地区接待10名本科生，最终的目标是在11月在美国物理社会流体动力学部（APS DFD）会议上介绍他们的研究。该计划的这一组成部分是一种重要的后续机制，以进一步鼓励REU参与者从事研究生学习，并通过激励学生和导师获得优质的研究结果来为站点的成功做出贡献。其他重要目标包括提供一种培养研究和技术沟通技巧的结构。该网站涉及在一系列工程学科的流体力学方面的基础和应用研究，以及在最先进的实验室环境中对本科生的培训。学生将为包括采样的粒子图像速度法（PIV）研究，对生物启发的边界层控制机制，使用配色Schlieren系统的燃烧研究以及计算空气声学进行贡献。
