As part of this year's Computational Fluid Dynamics and Simulation (CFDS) Lab Course, the LBRG organized an excursion to the wind tunnel at the Laboratory of Building and Environmental Aerodynamics at IWU, KIT. Dr. Christof Gromke and his team have guided the participants through the testing facilities and introduced fundamental concepts and research milestones of their lab. The CFDS Lab is offered by a funded collaboration between the Lattice Boltzmann Research Group and the Scientific Computing Center (https://www.scc.kit.edu/): Stephan Simonis, Mathias J. Krause, Gudrun Thaeter, Jasmin Hörter and Martin Frank. In the course, we enable students to efficiently use the large-scale computing infrastructures at KIT such as HoreKa for scientific simulations with highly efficient codes such as OpenLB. This course is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments.
