Pollution is one of the most significant environmental problems in modern cities, leading to disturbing odour episodes and low-air quality conditions that can be detrimental to public health. Its impact is increasing given the continuous city growth (79 % of the population worldwide live in urban areas) and the climate change effects. Nowadays, half the cities in high-income...

The distribution of pollutants at urban level is not completely understood due to its spatial inhomogeneity. Bettair currently maps pollutant concentrations using a model that is mainly suitable for open areas, but this model can be further improved at the cost of using more computational power. The goal of this project is to develop and incorporate a new module into...

NextSim partners, as fundamental European players in Aeronautics and Simulation, recognise that there is a need to increase the capabilities of current Computational Fluid Dynamics tools for aeronautical design by re-engineering them for extreme-scale parallel computing platforms. The backbone of NextSim is centred on the fact that, today, the capabilities of leading-edge...
