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 […]

This year is the 10th year anniversary of the GungHo project, a NERC/STFC/Met Office funded project to develop the next generation dynamical core (the resolved fluid dynamics component) for their climate/weather modelling system, which incorporates research by Colin Cotter and David Ham. GungHo has recently started to run its first global weather and climate simulations, […]

The grant has been awarded to study Advanced Parallel in Time Algorithms for Partial Differential Equations, funded by UKRI in a directed call managed by the Met Office. It is part of the £47.5M ExCALIBUR initiative funded from the Strategic Priorities Fund to develop exascale computing algorithms and infrastructure. The total grant value is £1.15M […]

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. […]

The ARCHER2 national supercomputer is a world class advanced computing resource and is the successor to ARCHER. This guide is intended to provide basic instructions for compiling the Nektar++ stable release or master branch on the ARCHER2 system. Compilation instructions are available here: Nektar++ on ARCHER2 – Nektar++

The latest version of Nektar++, v5.0.1, was released on the 21st January 2021. It can be downloaded from the downloads page.

In this workshop we wish to share experiences on application of time-stepping techniques, for example parallel time integration, encapsulation of time integration and implicit time integration. As before the format of the on-line workshop will involve a series of 3 short 15-minutes talks followed by a group discussions and a summary session. The event’s programme […]

Congratulations to PRISM’s Principal Investigator Prof. Spencer Sherwin (Imperial College London) for being awarded a 2020 ECCOMAS Prandtl medal.  The Prandtl Medal is awarded for outstanding and sustained contributions to the area of computational fluid dynamics. ECCOMAS, the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, is a scientific organization grouping together European associations with interests […]

In a gas turbine engine, the pressure expansion through the high- and low-pressure turbines (LPT) is achieved in a number of subsequent stages. The interaction of multiple stages of rotors and stators is a crucial source of deterministic unsteadiness which has repercussions on the loss production mechanisms, and it is thus of great importance to […]
