KAUST Research Conference on Flow Simulation at the Exascale: Opportunities, challenges and its application in the industry

‌

We are excited to announce the KAUST Research Conference on Flow simulation at the exascale: Opportunities, challenges, and its application in the industry, which will be held on March 28 – March 30, 2022 (#ExaFlow). The conference aims to bring together experts in flow simulation, computational mathematics, and high-performance computing. The goal is to define a research agenda and path forward that will enable scientists and engineers to continually leverage, engage, and direct advances in computational systems on the path to exascale computing and beyond. The conference will give space for presentations and discussions of computational fluid dynamics. 

Register for the conference now!
