High Performance Computing for Computational Mechanics

Abstract
Research in the Case Western Reserve University Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering ranges across a number of areas of mechanics: fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and biomechanics. All of these areas are being transformed by rapidly expanding computational capabilities especially through the development of parallel computational approaches. The Cluster will greatly enhance the computational capabilities of the department and would permit much more ambitious computational problems to be undertaken locally. A department-wide parallel computing resource will have a number of important benefits including greater collaborative opportunities both within the department’s faculty and with outside researchers, introduction of modern parallel computing methods to graduate students, and the ability to undertake much more competitive and ambitious research.
