Many congratulations to dr David Moxey for his promotion to Reader with effect from 1st August 2021. Well done, David!

For the future of environmental sciences Join this multidisciplinary 1 year MSc programme to train in fundamental computational and data science skills and shape your understanding of environmental science. The MSc Environmental Data Science and Machine Learning at Imperial College London will train students in fundamental computational and data science skills for application across the […]

Congratulations to Dr Gerard Gorman and Prof Paul Kelly who were recently awarded with the UKRI funding to work on “Efficient Cross-Domain DSL Development for Exascale”. https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/W007789/1 

The series comprises invited talks on a range of topics related to the theory of high-order Flux Reconstruction schemes, their implementation in the PyFR (www.pyfr.org) flow solver, and their application to industrially relevant flow problems. The overarching objective of the series is to help bridge the gap between academic research activities and real-world industrial requirements. […]

Conference on the Numerical Solution of Differential and Differential-Algebraic Equations (NUMDIFF-16) took place on 6 September — 10 September 2021 in Germany. This conference is devoted to all numerical aspects of time-dependent differential equations and differential-algebraic equations. PRISM’s team member, Prof Colin Cotter, organised mini-symposum during this event wich was dedicated to “Fluid dynamics: innovative […]

We are delighted to announced that former PRISM PDRA Dr Jemma Shipton has been promoted to a lecturer position at University of Exeter. This is a fantastic achievement warmly welcomed by PRIMS team.  

The fifth Firedrake user and developer workshop was held online between 15-17 September 2021.The workshop was an opportunity for Firedrake users and developers to engage with each other to communicate the ways that Firedrake can be used in simulation science, the latest developments in the project, and the future developments anticipated. The event provided Firedrake […]

PRISM has recently funded a Software Engineer (Christian Jane) for three months. This short term project had the objective of strengthening the maintenance/robustness aspects of the computational fluid dynamics software Nektar++, focusing on addressing some of the outstanding software-related issues present in the current version of the code. During this time, Christian has been integrated […]

PRISM Co-I Matthew Piggott has been awarded an ARCHER2 eCSE grant to fund a Research Associate (Joe Wallwork) for one year from 1st August 2021 to 31st July 2022. The project is entitled “Goal-Oriented Mesh Adaptation for Firedrake” and will make this advanced discretisation approach available to the Firedrake user community. Goal-oriented mesh adaptation seeks […]

The Platform for Research in Simulation Methods (PRISM, https://prism.ac.uk) is a major research programme based at Imperial encompassing activity in computational science. The main outputs of PRISM are frameworks for encoding composable mathematical abstractions as software, making advances in numerical mathematics practically applicable to a wide range of high-performance real-world applications across industry and in […]
