The Institute for Computational Modeling in Civil Engineering (iRMB) organized the 1st International Workshop on VirtualFluids at the University of Denmark (DTU) in Roskilde from 24-28.03.2025, supported by Erasmus+ teacher and staff mobility and the University of Denmark (DTU) . The workshop was attendant by 23 researchers from four countries and featured theoretical and practical sessions on VirtualFluids.
VirtualFluids is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for turbulent and multicomponent flow problems. It includes distributed pre- and postprocessing capabilities for simulations with more than 100 billion degrees of freedom.
Recordings of the lectures and some hands-on sessions are available on iRMB’s youtube channel.
- Prof. Martin Geier discussed the theory of the implemented Lattice Boltzmann method.
- Dr. Hussein Alihussein gave an overview of the installation and setup process.
- Dr. Martin Schönherr discussed the GPU version of VirtualFluids.
- Dr. Konstantin Kutscher presented the CPU version of VirtualFluds.
- Henry Korb (M. Sc.) gave lectures on the actuatorline model for windfarms (https://youtu.be/7XJqO7ZwHSA), atmospheric precursors, the wall model and the turbulence model (https://youtu.be/j1zeJc3GmcM), and the Python bindings for Virtual Fluids (https://youtu.be/jfLo7KLheMc).
