1st exaFOAM Workshop
We are excited to announce the first workshop on the exaFOAM project, which is aimed at pushing the boundaries of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology. The exaFOAM project seeks to overcome the current limitations of CFD, particularly in the area of massively parallel High-Performance Computing (HPC) architectures.
The project involves the development and validation of a range of algorithmic improvements across the entire CFD process chain, including preprocessing, simulation, I/O, and post-processing. The effectiveness of these improvements will be demonstrated through a suite of HPC Grand Challenges and Industrial Application cases, where engineering design through CFD has contributed significantly to industrial competitiveness and sustainability across various sectors such as transportation, power generation, and disaster prevention, among others.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and students from academia, industry and government organizations to attend this workshop to learn more about the exaFOAM project and its innovative approach to CFD. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in discussions with experts in the field.
When
June 12th, 2023 to June 13th, 2023 – from 13:00 CET to 18:00 CET
Venue
The workshop will be held virtually.
