  • CFD 2022 Special Issue

    I’m pleased to announce that I’m guest-editing another CFD special issue with MDPI and the computation journal. Following the success the 2017 CFD Special Issue in computation, the2022 Special Issue is again concerned with recent advances in the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM).

    The LBM has recently matured as a viable alternative to conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches that employ Finite Volume, Finite Difference or Finite Element approximations of continuum physics equations, mostly Navier-Stokes (NS). Whilst modeling essentially similar physics as classical continuum mechanics NS procedures, LBM features a number of advantages, particularly concerning data locality and parallel computing, but also in terms of stability and dispersion properties. As the method originates from the Boltzmann equation (being a superset of NS), multi-scale modeling (even up to specific kinetic turbulence models) is possible.

    This Special Issue aims at highlighting the current state-ofthe-art in the field of LBM and future research directions. Both submissions with an academic background as well as more application-oriented contributions are welcome.

  • Final call: NVIDIA webinar on CUDA-accelerated CFD

    Register now for our NVIDIA webinar on CUDA-accelerated Computational Fluid Dynamics!

    Together with three reseachers from the elbe team, I’ll discuss key concepts and several appliations of our CUDA-accelerated CFD solver elbe.

  • GTC Europe 2018

    I guess it’s more than time for an upate: I’ll present at GTC Europe 2018 (again). Feel free to join my talk on “The Need for Speed – Torwards Hi-Fi CFD Simulations Near Real-Time” on Thursday, October 11. And many thanks NVIDIA for photoshopping my profile picture.

  • ICMMES 2016

    icmmes_bannerWe’ve been rather busy lately, as we’re currently organizing the 13th International Conference for Mesoscopic Methods in Engineering and Science (ICMMES 2016). Further details can be found on the official conference web page, http://www.icmmes.org, and on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/ICMMES.

    Following the tradition established by previous ICMMES conferences, short courses will be offered on Monday, July 18, 2016. From Tuesday, July 19, till Friday, July 22, there will be 4 days of technical presentations.

  • Call for Papers: Special Issue on Lattice Boltzmann Methods

    computation-logo

    I’m acting as guest editor for a special issue on LBM in the computation journal. Computation is an open-access journal of computational science and engineering published quarterly online by MDPI.

    The Special Issue is concerned with recent advances in the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The LBM has recently matured as a viable alternative to conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches that employ Finite Volume, Finite Difference or Finite Element approximations of continuum physics equations, mostly Navier-Stokes (NS). Whilst modeling essentially similar physics as classical continuum mechanics NS procedures, LBM features a number of advantages, particularly concerning data locality and parallel computing, but also in terms of stability and dispersion properties. As the method originates from the Boltzmann equation (being a superset of NS), multi-scale modeling (even up to specific kinetic turbulence models) is possible. The SI aims at highlighting the current state-of-the-art in the field of LBM and future research directions. Both submissions with an academic background as well as more application-oriented contributions are welcome.

    For further details and submission of papers, see the official journal webpage.
