High End Computing Consortium for Wave Structure Interaction HEC WSI

波浪结构相互作用高端计算联盟(HEC WSI)是一个新兴的社区联盟，它代表了波浪结构相互作用研究人员的现有社区，他们通过CCP-WSI(波浪结构相互作用协作计算项目PLUS)的支持而共同工作。这聚集了计算流体力学(CFD)和计算结构力学(CSM)的研究人员，他们正在开发和应用完全耦合的波结构相互作用数值模拟工具，适用于海岸和海洋工程的最新挑战，以及其他波结构相互作用(WSI)自由表面流动问题，如集装箱和液体燃料中的晃动，并将受益于获得大量的高性能混凝土资源。该联盟致力于支持适用于Net Zero和脱碳解决方案的研究，与英国政府的战略保持一致，并将通过访问高端计算能力来实现新的科学和创新，以解决这些领域的WSI问题。该联盟将对软件代码进行重大技术开发，以增强其对高端计算的适用性。这些措施将包括优化WSI社区内使用的关键代码以实现更好的多相求解器的可扩展性，开发工具以实现流体和固体力学求解器之间的互操作性，为海岸/海洋工程和相关领域的不同应用开发波浪、风、刚体和流体弹性模型之间的耦合策略，以及利用上述开发开发利用高保真WSI模拟提供信息的AI/ML代理建模工具。该联盟将最大限度地促进整个社区在海岸和海洋工程及相关领域的参与。这将包括为社区中的研究人员提供机会来移植和确定他们自己的代码基准，并使用联盟支持的关于高性能计算资源的软件代码。HEC WSI还将为早期职业研究人员提供学习和熟练使用高性能计算资源的机会，并将作为一个论坛，在WSI社区内交流研究和分享HEC WSI专业知识，帮助促进最高质量的工程研究，并在为WSI社区制定战略议程方面提供领导。该联盟的成功将通过支持现有的CCP-WSI网络来确保成功，该网络由200多名研究人员组成，横跨五大洲从事WSI、ORE(海上可再生能源)和其他相关应用和行业的学术界和工业界。通过这个项目，社区将得到加强和巩固。到本项目结束时，HEC WSI将扩大用户数量，为WSI和更广泛的社区提供支持，并大幅改进WSI代码，使其用于HPC和最先进的高端计算系统。

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.The consortium will make significant technical developments of software codes to enhance their suitability for high-end computing. These will include optimising key codes used within the WSI community to achieve better scalability of the multi-phase solvers, developing tools to allow interoperability between the solvers for fluids and solid mechanics, developing coupling strategies between wave, wind, rigid body and hydro elastics models for different applications in costal/ocean engineering and related areas, and also developing AI/ML surrogate modelling tools informed by high fidelity WSI simulations utilising the aforementioned developments.The consortium will maximise the involvement of the whole community working on coastal and ocean engineering and related areas. These will include providing the opportunity for researchers in the community to port and benchmark their own codes and to use the software codes supported by the consortium on the HPC resource. The HEC WSI will also provide opportunities for early career researchers to learn and become proficient in using HPC resources and will serve as a forum to communicate research and share HEC WSI expertise within the WSI community, helping to promote the highest quality engineering research and provide leadership in developing strategic agendas for the WSI community.The success of this consortium will be ensured by supporting the existing wide CCP-WSI+ network of over 200 researchers, spanning academia and industry in 5 continents working on WSI, ORE (offshore renewable energy) and other relevant applications and sectors. The community will be strengthened and consolidated through this project. The HEC WSI will expand the volume of users, provide support for the WSI and wider community and significantly enhance WSI codes for them to be used on HPCs and most advanced high-end computing systems by the end of this project.
