About

The main objective of this Reduced Order Modeling of Fluid Dynamics in Large Scale Urban Domains (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is to investigate the feasibility of implementing a reduced-order model for weather simulations in urban areas. 

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

The effectiveness of reduced order models is strictly dependent on the application. Therefore, a proper campaign of simulations is required to evaluate its feasibility in the context of large-scale weather simulations in the urban scale. 

This Reduced Order Modeling of Fluid Dynamics in Large Scale Urban Domains (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) bridges the fields of computational mathematics and aerospace engineering to evaluate the potential of reduced-order modeling in large-scale urban simulations.

Recommended Student Background

  • Good knowledge in numerical linear algebra, numerical methods and CFD.
  • Basic programming knowledge, ideally in Python, C/C++ .
  • CAD modeling experience.

Programme Structure

  • Literature review on state-of-the-art results and data of atmospheric boundary layer for wind and temperature (in urban areas).
  • Generate an appropriate 3D mesh of the computational domains representing urban areas. 
  • Formulate realistic boundary conditions based on available data. 
  • Set up the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) pipeline for large scale simulations of incompressible flows (coupled with temperature) in a supercomputer. 
  • Postprocessing of the CFD solutions 
  • Explore the solution vector space to construct a reduced-order model. 
  • Estimate the associated errors.
