ARCHER Webinar: HPC Europa3 research visits: programme overview and visitor presentation
HPC-Europa3 research visits: programme overview and visitor presentation
Catherine Inglis, EPCC and Livio Carenza, Department of Physics, University of Bari
HPC-Europa3 is an EC-funded programme which funds collaborative visits for European researchers in any discipline which can use High Performance Computing. UK-based researchers can benefit in two ways: by visiting a research group in another country, or by hosting a collaborative visit here in the UK. This webinar will begin with an overview of the programme and how to apply, presented by Catherine Inglis, the HPC-Europa3 Transnational Access Co-ordinator at EPCC. Following this overview, one of the current visitors will give a presentation on the work he has been doing during his visit.
Lattice Boltzmann Methods for Active Fluids - Livio Carenza, Department of Physics, University of Bari (Italy)
Abstract: Active Matter is a peculiar kind of Soft Matter whose constituents are able to inject energy in the system at the level of the individual constituents, so that active systems evolve inherently far from thermodynamic equilibrium.
In this presentation I will provide an overview of continuum approaches suitable to model active matter in fluid environments, starting from a coarse-grained description of the active constituents and their active effect on the surrounding fluid. I will provide an overview of the basic features of Lattice Boltzmann, the numerical method implemented to integrate dynamical equations of active matter and present some details regarding the parallelization of the code used for simulations.
Furthermore I will provide an overview of some interesting phenomena arising in active matter, ranging from Spontaneous Flow to Active Turbulence.
