Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description - Investigation of abstract coupling frameworks for computational physics codes. This gives a general framework that makes it possible to analyse the stability of complex multi-physics frameworks in which different codes with different types of discretisation need to be coupled together.
- Development of a high-performance parallel grid library in Rust. Rust is a new and quickly growing programming language. As part of establishing a Rust ecosystem for scientific applications we have developed and tested on ARCHER2 a grid library in Rust that handles high-order elements of various types.
- Applications to Poisson-Boltzmann Problems. These are problems that appear in the electrostatic modelling of proteins and are important in vaccine development. We have demonstrated the feasibility of coupling finite elements and boundary elements for these problems and are not developing large-scale solvers based on this coupling.
Exploitation Route - The theoretical developments influence future research into the design of coupling methods
- Our Rust based software is the first large-scale grid library for HPC developed in Rust and will grow and evolve for use by other groups
- Our FEM/BEM coupling frameworks are still in development but are aimed to be the first widely usable HPC FEM/BEM coupling libraries.
