New insights into using “the process that powers the stars”

1970-01-01T00:00:00Z

Turbulence simulations, carried out in the framework of the PRACE Research Infrastructure, have provided new insights into the fundamental processes of turbulent transport. This research is contributing to the understanding and optimisation of magnetic confinement in fusion devices. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to make predictions for ITER, an international flagship fusion experiment being built in Southern France. “The research conducted in our team is part of a world-wide effort to (...) - About PRACE RI / exclu_menu_rub, exclu_sommaire

A step forward in understanding electron transfer in organic solar cell materials

1970-01-01T00:00:00Z

Organic solar cells have a promising future in renewable energy generation. However, there are a number of problems to be solved before they can break into the energy market. Characterisation of electron transfer in organic solar cell materials has taken one step forward, when a research team calculated charge carrier mobility and material structure with PRACE supercomputing resources. Organic solar cells are envisaged as a promising alternative to inorganic cells. They are easy to produce (...) - About PRACE RI / exclu_menu_rub, exclu_sommaire

Solving the mysteries of swine flu, epileptic seizure and other diseases

1970-01-01T00:00:00Z

Paolo Carloni's research group from German Research School for Simulation Sciences in Jülich was among the first projects which were granted access to the PRACE resources. Carloni's group was granted for 48 758 784 core-hours on the JUGENE IBM BlueGene/P in the PRACE first regular call. The allocation is for one year ranging from November 2010 to October 2011. Carloni's research group currently includes thirteen members. “At the moment we have a full professor, four research assistants and (...) - About PRACE RI / exclu_menu_rub, exclu_sommaire

Advanced tools to design future jet engines

1970-01-01T00:00:00Z

Increasingly stringent requirements for energy efficiency and noise reduction in jet engines are tightening the screw in their development and design. Cenaero, an applied research centre for modeling and numerical simulation, is developing new methods that will help in designing high-performance jet engines. Cenaero was granted access to PRACE resources in PRACE Preparatory Access for an industrial pilot project “noFUDGE”. For a long time one of the main problems in applied fluid mechanics – (...) - About PRACE RI / exclu_menu_rub, exclu_sommaire
