Hidalgo2 Clustering Event in Stuttgart, Germany - Ravi Ayyala Somayajula

Описание: Sediment and material transport are fundamental to understanding river ecosystems, coastal health, and civil engineering safety. In this presentation from the HiDALGO2 clustering event, PhD researcher Ravi Ayyala (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) explores how High-Performance Computing (HPC) is revolutionising our ability to predict these complex multi-phase fluid dynamics.

Key Highlights:
Beyond the Riverbed: Why microscopic understanding of sediment is vital for fish habitats, dam longevity, and predicting avalanches or permafrost thawing.
Temperature-Driven Transport: A new focus within the HiDALGO2 project—studying how heat impacts water quality and aquatic life through fluid-particle-scalar integration.
The Software Stack: An introduction to waLBerla (high-performance C++ multiphysics framework) and lbmpy (automatic code generation for Lattice Boltzmann kernels).
Scaling to Exascale: Demonstrating the capability to scale simulations across thousands of GPUs on top-tier systems like the Lumi supercomputer.
Industrial Applications: How the same framework is applied to offshore wind farm suction buckets and 3D laser beam welding predictions.

The HiDALGO2 project develops highly scalable HPC and AI solutions to address global environmental and societal challenges. The HiDALGO2 Clustering Event “HPC and Big Data Technologies Addressing Global Challenges” was held on 4 November 2025 at the High‑Performance Computing Centre Stuttgart (HLRS), in Stuttgart, Germany.
