Modeling & Simulation
The Computational Science & Engineering
Department (CSED) at Daresbury SIC combines expertise in fluid flow
modeling with the latest high-performance computing technology to
enable the solution of complex fluid dynamic problems up to meso
scale modeling.
The group has been collaborating with universities and industry
for many years and specialises in high performance parallel
computing, turbulence and combustion modeling, microfluidics and
non-equilibrium gas dynamics.
As one of the world's leading players in the modeling and design
of microfluidic devices, it deals with many exciting modeling
challenges because, at such small scales, the fluid may not behave
in the same way as experienced in the macroscopic world.
Daresbury SIC is home to the HPCx UK academic
supercomputer; the next generation of which will be based at
Edinburgh, with STFC being a key
stakeholder.
However, with the planned installation of Blue Gene P, Daresbury
SIC plans to enter the world's top three supercomputing
resources.
