On October 16 and 17, the Ourense campus will host the HPC for Geophysical Fluid Dynamics 2019 workshop. The event, organized by the Environmental Physics Laboratory (Ephyslab) Group at CIM-UVigo, will bring together specialists from different countries who use HPC (high performance computing) in cutting-edge research to present the latest advances in applying these techniques to the development of numerical models for fluid simulation.
The event, coordinated by Ephyslab researchers José Manuel Domínguez and Orlando García and linked to the specialization project of the Ourense campus as the Campus of Water, has a scientific committee including researchers from the Universities of Cantabria, A Coruña, Manchester (United Kingdom), Ghent (Belgium), and the Instituto Superior Técnico of Portugal. In addition to the Faculty of Sciences and the School of Aeronautical and Space Engineering at the Ourense campus, the Marine Research Center of the University of Vigo, CESGA, and the Spanish Supercomputing Network are also collaborating.
During the workshop, the latest advances in the development of the numerical models Iber, Dualsphysics, and Ihfoam will be presented, as well as applications that can only be studied thanks to the use of HPC. Ephyslab works on the development of the first two models: Dualsphysics, a 3D fluid simulation model that uses particles and is employed in simulations where water violently impacts three-dimensional structures, such as coastal infrastructures, and Iber, a model used for two-dimensional flood simulations to assess the extent and impact of transport phenomena in floods in areas such as river basins or estuaries.
