West of Scotland Supercomputing Centre for Academia and Industry (Recurring)
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Strathclyde
Department Name: Pure and Applied Chemistry
Abstract
This proposal is for an academia-industry High Performance Computing (HPC) regional centre for the West of Scotland that will be based at the University of Strathclyde. The other universities involved in the consortium are Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, West of Scotland and Stirling. The centre will provide a step-change in HPC provision within a community where academia collaborates most effectively with national and international industry, bringing enhanced business competitiveness and innovation opportunities through collaborative research and industrial product design and simulation.
A key component of our strategy is to provide a completely integrated package of HPC resource, support and training service locally, so that industries are more directly attracted to where the work is being performed, and can interact with the HPC experts and associated support. Personal interactions are crucial to both the initial engagement and for the development of longer-term strategic partnerships as relationships mature, building trust and confidence in the academic expertise and the benefits derived from access to HPC capability.
New, additive university collaborations and industry-university research partnerships in the Manufacturing, Energy, Health Technologies, and Physical Sciences priority areas will be made possible by the centre. Industries and other organisations working in these sectors will benefit from service provision access to the HPC facilities, as well as from opportunities for joint research and development that requires high performance computing.
In recognising that a "one size fits all" approach to industrial user engagement will not work, we will adopt a flexible approach to hosting and prioritising one-off/pump priming contract research in the HPC Centre, as well as develop long-lasting collaborative research relationships on a variety of problems. Participation in and by consortia involving other organisations with common interests (e.g. SMEs, and enterprise and economic development agencies) will also be strongly encouraged.
The management structure of the centre ensures that key industrial and academic stakeholders on the Advisory Board will be directly involved in steering the centre. The centre will have the agility to modify its access and operational plans, as well as its CPD and outreach activities, to ensure it remains focused on achieving its goals. This agility is not easily achieved in larger operations encumbered by entrenched practices and competing strategic priorities. The Centre's Director and operational team will facilitate cooperation between partner academics and industrialists, ensuring the right skills and expertise are brought to bear on all industrial needs, and that the advantages of high-performance computing for design and innovation are immediately apparent to both new and existing industrial users.
The centre's mission is to ensure that the best scientific and engineering research and development is deployed to full societal benefit by working closely with academic and industry partners. The alignment of the Centre to this mission guarantees its sustainability, and the continuing commitment of the host University and its partners will ensure long-term success in delivering its aims and objectives.

Planned Impact
A wide range of companies will benefit from the formation of the HPC Centre, from large national/multinational organisations with engagement in the West of Scotland such as Rolls Royce, AstraZeneca, ScottishPower and SSE, to local and SME companies such as Sgurr Energy, GSE Systems and Clyde Space Ltd. Over 100 companies participate in the various industry-university consortia at Strathclyde alone. Across all the partner universities, several hundred companies and other organisation will be potential beneficiaries. Access to HPC will provide new company growth and wealth-creating opportunities through collaborative research and industrially relevant design, simulation and modelling. Furthermore, by offering a supercomputing service to industrial partners for product and process design and development, advances will be made in the energy, advanced manufacturing, health technologies and physical sciences sectors that will not only increase the competitiveness of the companies, but also provide health and quality of life benefits in the UK. The timescales for realisation of the industrial benefits could be quite short (under 24 months) especially when targeted towards process improvements, product design, and health care developments. Our experience of effective bridging between TRLs 1-4 and 5-8 will enhance the proposed Centre's impact and maximise the industrial exploitation of research outputs and the HPC facilities. Several companies have already identified areas where the HPC Centre will enhance product/process development:
"large scale wind mapping and short term forecasting of wind energy using the "WRF mesoscale model" for renewable energy applications (Sgurr Energy);
"molecular simulation and modelling expertise and solutions" for materials and life science (Accelrys);
"complex wind flow and turbine driveline system interaction modelling" for offshore wind turbines (David Brown Gear Systems);
"predict the fatigue life of the device and ensure safe performance" for ring stents in endovascular aneurysm repair devices (Terumo Vascutek);
"support the design and simulation work we do" in manufacturing real-time simulators for the Power and Process industries (GSE Systems);
"robust design optimisation and the simulation of large constellation of micro-spacecraft to assess long-term behaviour and coverage patterns" in relation to small satellite technology (Clyde Space Ltd);
"accelerate the introduction of continuous (manufacturing) technologies" in the pharmaceutical industry, and enhance "design of molecules and understanding in-vivo efficacy, exposure and toxicity" (AstraZeneca);
"underpinning research in "collective radiation-beam-plasma interactions at high intensities" using high power lasers ...and in the next generation accelerators" (National Nuclear Laboratory).
To maximise the benefits that companies gain from the centre, the HPC outreach and engagement programme will include a series of industrial user workshops that will be held soon after commissioning to demonstrate and showcase the HPC facilities through exemplar calculations on real industrial problems. This will align potential industrial users with academics across the partner universities who can provide the best guidance and training on exploiting the opportunities afforded by the HPC centre. We recognise that supercomputing is an enabling resource not only for industry majors, but also for innovative SMEs that often make key supply chain contributions. In order to reach key industrial constituencies that do not presently access the power of supercomputing, current industrial partners of the collaborating universities will be invited to these workshops and encouraged to invite their supply chain and support SMEs. The provision of bespoke executive education and continuous professional development (CPD) will also be beneficial features of the centre and these will be used to drive and stimulate adoption of HPC methodologies by industry.

Description | The University of Strathclyde has successfully hosted and managed the ARCHIE-WeSt Tier 2 Regional High Performance Computing (HPC) Centre since 2012. ARCHIE-WeSt is a consortium of 5 Universities in the West of Scotland created with £1.3M capital investment from EPSRC. Amongst the key outputs and achievements through this period to date, ARCHIE-WeSt has supported the work of 130 PhD students with substantial computational requirements; facilitated the generation of over 300 academic and conference papers; fostered 35 partnerships between academia and industry; and trained 380 users across fields as diverse as advanced manufacturing, business analytics, spacecraft re-entry, and high energy physics. During the last year, ARCHIE (the computer itself) has been running consistently at 85% capacity with an aggregate of 155 users. Strathclyde has been the primary beneficiary of this facility with researchers from every department across the Faculties of Science & Engineering using the facility to some extent, as well as some users from the department of Economics and Management Science, along with recent expressions of interest from the department of Psychology. During its lifetime, ARCHIE has underpinned a research grant portfolio in excess of £30M across the University, so that ARCHIE-WeSt played an important role in the successes of the 2014 REF results. |

Title | Design Optimisation of Propeller Boss Cap Fins for Enhanced Propeller Performance |
Description | Economic pressures and regulatory requirements have brought about a great interest in improving ship propulsion efficiency. This can be exercised by installing Energy Saving Devices (ESD) such as Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF). This paper demonstrates an approach for optimising PBCF by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. The conducted Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) CFD open water model tests were validated by comparison with experimental data until the simulation was deemed satisfactory within the capabilities and limitations of the model. A design and optimisation procedure was defined to analyse the impact of ESDs on propeller efficiency and then used to evaluate the influence of alternative geometric parameters and locations of the PBCF on the hub. This analysis was done at full scale using high fidelity CFD-based RANS methods. Outcomes of the study include a design and optimisation process that can be used for the analysis of other ESDs on the market. The influences of various PBCF geometry were examined with optimal solutions presented for the analysis case. Results indicated a net energy efficiency improvement of 1.3% contributing to a substantial minimisation of cost and energy consumption. A reduction in the hub vortex was also clearly identified and presented. This dataset includes a table showing the impact of PBCF design parameters on the propulsion performance characteristics and a figure showing the typical residuals convergence behaviour for each simulation in the study. |

Title | Full-scale unsteady RANS simulations of vertical ship motions in shallow water |
Description | The seakeeping behaviour of a vessel in shallow water differs significantly from its behaviour in deep water. In shallow water, a vessel's motion responses to incident waves will be affected by hydrodynamic effects caused by the presence of a finite depth. Given that a vessel will sail in shallow water at various times during its service life, such as when entering harbours, it is important to have an understanding of the influence of shallow water on ship motions. In this study, using a commercial unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver, a numerical study of ship motions in shallow water was carried out. Firstly, the characteristics of shallow water waves were investigated by conducting a series of simulations. Then, a full-scale large tanker model was used as a case study to predict its heave and pitch responses to head waves at various water depths, covering a range of wave frequencies at zero speed. The motion results obtained were validated against related experimental studies available in the literature, and were also compared to those from 3-D potential theory. The results were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Finally, it was shown that vertical motions were significantly affected by shallow water. This dataset involves the results of ship motions in shallow water obtained using different methods. Additionally it includes the 3D geometry of the tanker model and a video created by the CFD-based commercial software package. |

Title | Near-threshold electron injection in the laser-plasma wakefield accelerator leading to femtosecond bunches |
Description | Theoretical model describing self-injection of electron in laser-plasma wakefield accelerator near the threshold regime. This process is crucial in determining the electron bunch properties. In this paper we show that injection occurs due to the localised charge density build-up in the sheath crossing region at the rear of the bubble, which has the effect of increasing the accelerating potential to above a critical value. Injected electron bunch duration is determined by the dwell time above this critical value, which explains why single or multiple ultra-short electron bunches are formed in the first bubble. We have performed a series of 3-D particle-in-cell simulations (OSIRIS) to compared our model as well as experimental measurements on the ALPHA-X beam line. |

Title | Predicting the effect of biofouling on ship resistance using CFD |
Description | This study proposes a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based unsteady RANS model which enables the prediction of the effect of marine coatings and biofouling on ship resistance and presents CFD simulations of the roughness effects on the resistance and effective power of the full-scale 3D KRISO Container Ship (KCS) hull. Initially, a roughness function model representing a typical coating and different fouling conditions was developed by using the roughness functions given in the literature. This model then was employed in the wall-function of the CFD software and the effects of a typical as applied coating and different fouling conditions on the frictional resistance of flat plates representing the KCS were predicted for a design speed of 24 knots and a slow steaming speed of 19 knots using the proposed CFD model. The roughness effects of such conditions on the resistance components and effective power of the full-scale 3D KCS model were then predicted at the same speeds. The resulting frictional resistance values of the present study were then compared with each other and with results obtained using the similarity law analysis. The increase in the effective power of the full-scale KCS hull was predicted to be 18.1% for a deteriorated coating or light slime whereas that due to heavy slime was predicted to be 38% at a ship speed of 24 knots. In addition, it was observed that the wave resistance and wave systems are significantly affected by the hull roughness and hence viscosity. This dataset involves the time history of ship drag (resistance) values for varying surface conditions computed by the CFD-based commercial software package. |

Title | Raman backscattering saturation due to coupling between ?p and 2?p modes in plasma |
Description | Raman backscattering (RBS) in plasma is the basis of plasma-based amplifiers and is important in laser-driven fusion experiments. Using theoretical model and particle-in-cell simulations, we show that saturation can arise from nonlinearities due to coupling between the fundamental and harmonic plasma wave modes for sufficiently intense pump and seed pulses. We present a time-dependent analysis that shows that plasma wave phase shifts reach a maximum close to wavebreaking. The study contributes to a new understanding of RBS saturation for counter-propagating laser pulses. More information on the dataset structure can be found in the README file. |
