Organisation | University of Plymouth |
Country | United Kingdom |
Sector | Academic/University |
PI Contribution | Provide training and workshops which will support the co-creation of code coupling methodologies and libraries to support the range of CFD codes used in an open source environment for community use and to aid parallel implementation. |
Collaborator Contribution | The motivation is to develop full coupled wave structure interaction (FCWSI) software, which couples the best in class CFD tools with the most recent innovations in computational solid mechanics. Due to the complexity of both fields, this would not be achievable without interdisciplinary collaboration and co-design of FCWSI software. |

Description | High End Computing Consortium for Wave Structure Interaction HEC WSI |
Organisation | University of Plymouth |
Country | United Kingdom |
Sector | Academic/University |
PI Contribution | 1. Develop software to improve performance and enable new research areas to be tackled with HEC and future HEC architectures and provide access and core support to a suite of complementary flow solvers. 2. Maximise the impact of UK national HPC service on WSI research and innovation by promoting strong links with industrial collaborators and users through the established CCP-WSI+ and Supergen ORE Hub community. |
Collaborator Contribution | The High End Computing Consortium for Wave Structure Interaction (HEC WSI) is a new and emerging communities consortium that represents the established community of researchers in wave structure interaction that are working together through the support of the CCP-WSI+ (Collaborative Computational Project on Wave Structure Interaction plus). This brings together a community of researchers in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational structure mechanics (CSM) who are developing and applying fully coupled wave structure interaction numerical modelling tools suitable for the latest challenges in coastal and ocean engineering, and other wave structure interaction (WSI) free surface flow problems, such as sloshing in containers and liquid fuels, and would benefit from access to significant HPC resource. The consortium addresses underpinning research applicable to Net Zero and Decarbonisation solutions aligned with UK Government strategy and will enable new science and innovation unlocked by access to high-end computing capabilities for solving WSI problems in these areas. |
