in the DesignSafe Learning Center.



The NHERI SimCenter is hosting a remote training event to help researchers
and students in the area of coastal hazards and focusing on tsunami and
storm-surge simulations. The training aims to help researchers and students
investigate the structural response due to wave loading during such hazard
events.



The training will utilize the SimCenter’s HydroUQ (Water-borne Natural
Hazards with Uncertainty Quantification) application
<https://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/research-tools/hydro-uq/>. The
application combines existing shallow-water & CFD applications, e.g.,
GeoClaw and OpenFOAM, with UQ applications, e.g., Dakota, behind a simple
user interface. The training will highlight features recently delivered in
the new HydroUQ application, including uncertainty analysis for structural
response due to wave loading on structures.



Day 1 will cover the coupling of 2-D shallow-water with 3-D CFD, and Day 2
will introduce a wave flume digital twin. Attendees will learn how to
perform probabilistic analysis using HPC resources at the TACC Stampede2
supercomputer made available through DesignSafe. The training will be an
interactive session and include demonstration of capabilities followed by
interactively working on example problems.



The two-day online training is being offered on *July 28-29, 2021*. The
training will be followed by *open-office hours on July 30, 2021*.



   - Day 1: Introduction to new features and capabilities; Using GeoClaw
   for shallow-water simulations and coupling with CFD using HydroUQ
   - Day 2: Using the wave flume digital twin in HydroUQ; Advanced
   structural modeling and uncertainty quantification



*About the Speaker*

*Dr. Ajay Harish* is a postdoctoral scholar at UC Berkeley and developer at
the SimCenter since Jan-2020. He was also a Lecturer at UC Berkeley during
Fall 2020. He is the lead developer of the HydroUQ application aimed at
Coastal Hazards, particularly tsunami and storm surges. Dr. Harish received
his Doctorate (Magna cum laude), in mechanical engineering from Leibniz
University Hannover, Germany; M.S. in aeronautics from California Institute
of Technology, Pasadena; and B. Tech in mechanical engineering from
National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, India. He finds the work at
the SimCenter exciting as it is multidisciplinary and combines ideas from
engineering, mathematics and computer science.
