With present computational capabilities and data volumes entering the Exascale Era, digital twins of the Earth system will be able to mimic the different system components (atmosphere, ocean, land, lithosphere) with unrivalled precision, providing analyses, forecasts, and what-if scenarios for natural hazards and resources from their genesis phases and across their temporal...

CAELESTIS will develop an end-to-end Interoperable Simulation Ecosystem (ISE) that will perform multidirectional dataflow across the aircraftvalue chain linking product design and distributed engineering teams´ CAD-CAE tools, to accelerate the design and engineering optimization of disruptive aircraft and engine configurations, ensuring their manufacturability from the...

The project aims to develop a computational platform for the virtual testing of industrial combustors using High-Performance Computing (HPC). It uses an advanced modelling strategy based on high-fidelity numerical simulations and HPC-based data analysis tools to obtain quantitative information about combustion performance in terms of combustion dynamics, pollutant formation...

The Propulsion Technologies Group is focused on the generation of advanced simulation software that conducts high-level research in energy conversion systems. The key activities of the group are focused on the development of emissions models for aeroengines, and hydrogen-based technologies for aircraft propulsion, including disruptive concepts based on dual-fuel and...

There is a need to increase the capabilities of current Computational Fluid Dynamics tools for engineering design by re-engineering them for extreme-scale parallel computing platforms. The backbone of the Large-scale Computational Fluid Dynamics (LS/CFD) team is centered on the fact that, today, the capabilities of leading-edge emerging HPC architectures are not fully...

This group carries out activities related to performance analysis, simulation, emulation, and development of new libraries for emerging architectures. The group develops tools and models to monitor the use of resources and measure the performance in parallel and distributed HPC applications. These performance analysis tools provide detailed analysis capabilities to make it...

The project ORION is aligned with the goals of decarbonization of the European transportation sector and Europe's vision to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. ORION intends to perform a Proof of Concept of a swirl low-NOX burner using a secondary hydrogen stream that contributes to mitigate stability problems found in swirl-stabilized lean premixed...

The sustainability of plastic materials implies attaining a renewable origin and recyclable nature. Unfortunately, both conditions are far from being fulfilled by the current industry. In the polyester sector, PET [poly(ethylene- terephthalate)], one of the most common plastics, has a petrochemical origin. Happily, PEF [poly(ethylene-furandicarboxylate)] is emerging as a...

MITIGATE (MonIToring and dIagnosinG ozone formATion from spacE) aims to unravel the sensitivity of surface O3 production to NOx and VOC precursors over Spain using the high-resolution TROPOMI sensor. Designed to address the aforementioned issues, the specific objectives of the project are:

• to assess the consistency between...

NextGEMS will develop and apply a new generation of global coupled Storm-Resolving Earth System Models (SR-ESMs) to the study of anthropogenic climate change. SR-ESMs are distinguished by their fine, 3 km, grid in the atmosphere andocean. This allows a more physical representation of atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems, including their coupling to Earth-system...
