项目摘要

Our team specialises in the development of finite element methods to computationally simulate fluid flow, particularly low Mach number, transient, separated fluid flows in complex geometries and in the presence of strong multiphysics coupling. These models can be used to make predictions and answer scientific questions in problems ranging from blood flow through an arterial bypass graft to the flow over components of a Formula 1 racing car to explaining how the ocean circulates or predicting the response of the Earth's climate to increased CO2 in the atmosphere. What unifies these flows is that they have common features, such as vortices, that occur across a huge range of sizes and times; these features have a critical effect on the phenomena being studied.The range of these problem means that to address grand challenges such as the flow of blood in the numerous arteries of the human body, over a full Formula 1 car or the interaction of a massive array of tidal turbines, it is necessary to combine state-of-the-art modelling techniques with the capability to run models on massively parallel supercomputers.In recognition of the recent changes in computer hardware, this platform will enable the group to promote the next generation of developers to provide general purpose software that takes advantage of cutting edge computer science to enable effective use of parallel computers using emerging hardware in a way that is accessible to fluid modelling experts as well as computer scientists. Hence this platform brings together a team of computer scientists and computational engineers in a fundamentally multidisciplinary project, with the dual aim of providing flexible, internationally respected and widely adopted software libraries, and of training young researchers in this emerging area.

我们的团队专门研究有限元方法的开发，以模拟流体流动，尤其是在复杂的几何形状中以及存在强多物理耦合的情况下，临时，瞬态，分离的流体流。这些模型可用于做出预测并回答科学问题，包括从血流穿过动脉旁路移植物到一级方程式赛车的组成部分的流动，以解释海洋如何循环或预测地球气候的反应到大气中的CO2。统一这些流动的是它们具有在各种尺寸和时代发生的共同特征，例如涡流。这些特征对正在研究的现象具有关键影响。这些问题的范围意味着要解决诸如人体众多动脉中的血液流动，在完整的一级方程式赛车上，或大量潮汐涡轮机的相互作用，这是结合在整个台阶上，在计算机上运行的实现型号的能力，这是必要的，这是必要的。该小组促进下一代开发人员提供通用软件，以利用尖端的计算机科学，以便使用新兴硬件有效地使用平行计算机，而流体建模专家以及计算机科学家都可以使用。因此，该平台将一组计算机科学家和计算工程师团队汇集在一个根本上是多学科项目中，其双重目的是提供灵活，具有国际尊重和广泛采用的软件库，以及在这个新兴领域培训年轻研究人员。
