Fast and accurate predictions of the flow and transport of materials in urban and complex
terrain areas are challenging because of the heterogeneity of buildings and land features of …

This work describes and evaluates a pressure solver that has been incorporated into a fast
response three-dimensional building-resolving diagnostic wind modeling system. The solver …

Abstract Today's Graphics Processor Units (GPU) are powerful computation platforms used
not only for graphic rendering but also for multi-purpose computation. Now reaching a …

European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS …

One quarter of all the energy consumed worldwide is used in building operations and this
accounts for one third of all global carbon emissions. In addition to the energy used in …

Advances in software and hardware technologies in many-core graphics processing units
(GPU) create new opportunities to accelerate computational turn-around time of …

A crucial aspect in collaborative laboratory/computational research is that of adequately
characterizing and modeling the conditions in the turbulent flow experiments, so that …

With installed wind power capacities steadily on the rise, balancing the loads on electrical
grids is challenging due to the intermittency of the wind. Short-term wind power forecasting …

Implicit large eddy simulation proposes to effectively rely on the use of subgrid modeling and
filtering provided implicitly by physics capturing numerics. Extensive work has demonstrated …
