High-Performance Computing: A New Challenge in Wind Engineering
Posted on by Vincenzo Picozzi
Registrations for WE-HPC, a training course dedicated to Computational Wind Engineering, are now open.
The course is jointly organized by ICSC – Centro Nazionale di Ricerca in HPC, Big Data e Quantum Computing, and Italian Association for Wind Engineering – ANIV, under the patronage of the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering at the University of Bologna.
The aim of WE-HPC is to introduce participants to the use of advanced numerical simulations in the field of Wind Engineering, providing the necessary theoretical framework for the problems addressed and the analytical tools currently available, with a particular focus on the use of High-Performance Computing.
