FLOWRUN – Numerical simulation and optimization of floodinduced flow phenomena using a parallelized SPH-code

The objective of the JARA Seed-Fund project “FLOWRUN” is to provide innovative interdisciplinary investigations of flow phenomena at hydraulic structures during flood events. Focus is on the interdisciplinary analysis and optimization of the SPH-method that is currently gaining more and more importance. 


One advantage regarding future acquisition of third-party funded projects (e.g. prediction simulation at expertises, plan approval procedures) is the parallelized simulation of three-dimensional flow phenomena in consideration of a complex free water surface. 

By combination of different methods and expertises of the project partners the basis of a new scientific infrastructure (hydro-informatics) is established. Already first publications were prepared and submitted due to the support by JARA. These publications will help to apply successfully for research funds (start funding).
