Investigation of OpenFOAM hydrodynamic simulation stability and scalability

During the EuroCC-2 project, Kirils Surovovs, the researcher at the Institute of Numerical Modelling, submitted an application for the resources of Luxembourg supercomputer MeluXina (12th most powerful supercomputer in the EU). The title of the application was “Investigation of OpenFOAM hydrodynamic simulation stability and scalability”.  The project was devoted to silicon melt flow simulations (e.g., […]

New publication in the journal “Energy”

With the participation of our Institute’s leading researcher, Stanislavs Gendelis, a scientific article “Impact of global warming and building renovation on the heat demand and district heating capacity: Case of the city of Riga” has been published in the journal “Energy”  (Q1, Impact Factor = 8.9; CiteScore=13.4). This article presents a methodology to assess the […]

Event: Open HPC week

HPC (High-Performance Computing) Competence Centre “SuperS” invites representatives from industry, academia, and other interested parties to take part in «Open HPC week 2022». The event will take part on June 28 and 29.  Supercomputing or HPC is used all over the world to perform large-scale calculations and various types of simulations much faster, providing a […]

Electromagnetic control of liquid metal layer dynamics

Contactless methods are essential in many modern technological processes to move and control liquid metals. For example, a novel energy-efficient alternative to the “classical” multi-stage continuous casting process, where initial square-cut ingots are repeatedly heated and rolled in a roller system to obtain thin steel strips, is the direct strip casting, where liquid metals are […]
