Max Aehle, TU Kaiserslautern Title: Introduction to Model Predictive Control Abstract: Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a methodology for controller design. Assuming that the controlled system P (plant) is adequately approximated by another system M (model), MPC iteratively determines its … Continue reading →

Pedro Gomes, Department of Aeronautics, Imperial College London Title: Aerodynamic Driven Multidisciplinary Topology Optimization of Compliant Airfoils Abstract: We propose a strategy for density-based topology optimization of fluid structure interaction problems that deals with some short-comings associated with non stiffness-based … Continue reading →

Xinyu Hui, Northwestern Polytechnical University Xi’an, China Title: Fast pressure distribution prediction and unsteady periodic flow field prediction method based on deep learning Abstract: In the aerodynamic design, optimization of the pressure distribution of airfoils is crucial for the aerodynamic … Continue reading →

Maxime Krier, TU Kaiserslautern Title: Bridging Neural Network Architectures and Numerical Differential Equations Abstract: Over the past few years, neural networks have become one of the most important tools for supervised machine learning. A class of architectures called ResNets have … Continue reading →

Prof. Dr. Hermann G. Matthies, Institut für Wissenschaftliches Rechnen, TU Braunschweig Title: Probability, Algebra, Analysis, and Numerics Abstract: Probability theory was axiomatically built on the concept of measure by A. Kolmogorov in the early 1930s, using the probability measure and … Continue reading →

Dr. Stephan Schmidt, Universität Paderborn Title: Alternative Concepts for Preserving Regularity in Free Surface Shape Optimization Abstract: A common problem in shape optimization with free node parameterizations, i.e. the situation where the surface itself is used as design unknown without … Continue reading →

The goal of the workshop is to give an overview of recent research activities at SciComp. In addition, collaborators from ITWM, KIT, Uni Paderborn and BOSCH will give invited presentations for scientific exchange. Finally, we will brainstorm about future collaboration. … Continue reading →

Thomas Dick, SciComp Title: Efficient Algorithmic Differentiation handling of linear algebra libraries Abstract: In many modern simulation codes efficient linear system solvers are a key factor for performance. These libraries use a variety of parallelization techniques to optimize performance, like … Continue reading →

Tim Albring, SciComp Title: Automating Continuous Integration and Deployment using Github Actions and Docker Abstract: Continuous integration – the practice of frequently integrating one’s new or changed code with the existing code repository – should occur frequently enough such that … Continue reading →
