Registration is now open to participate in the FIRST edition of the High-Performance Computing: A New Challenge in Wind Engineering (WE-HPC) course, which will take place from Monday, June 30, to Friday, July 4, at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Bologna. The school, by the ICSC – Italian Research Center on High Performance Computing Big Data and Quantum Computing in collaboration with the Italian Association for Wind Engineering (ANIV) and the sponsorship of the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering of the University of Bologna, is aimed primarily at mainly doctoral students of any engineering or scientific discipline and is also open to master’s students and professionals.
The increasing availability of computing power is driving the adoption of numerical simulations in wind engineering, a field traditionally focused on wind tunnel tests conducted in specialized centers. However, the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) outside these centers requires a deep understanding of the reliability, applicability and challenges associated with such analyses. The WE-HPC course therefore aims to provide the essential theoretical and practical tools for effective use of CFD based simulations in the context of bluff body aerodynamics and Wind Engineering. The program is conceived in order to be self-contained, but previous knowledge of Structural Analysis and Numerical Methods applied to Partial Differential Equations is advised.
It will be possible to submit applications no later than June 1. A maximum of twenty (20) attendees will be admitted to the course. Admissions will be processed in two stages. Those who submit their application before Sunday 13th April 2025 h 23.59 will receive confirmation no later than Thursday 17th April 2025. After this, applications will remain open until Sunday, 1st June 2025 h 23:59, and students will be admitted based on remaining availability.
