<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The training will utilize the SimCenter’s <a href="https://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/research-tools/hydro-uq/" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">HydroUQ (Water-borne Natural Hazards with Uncertainty
Quantification) application</a>. 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.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><b>Dr. Ajay Harish</b> 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.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><a href="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/training/simcenter/2021/studying-coastal-hazards-hyrdouq/" target="_blank">Register for this free event</a> in the DesignSafe Learning Center.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">---------</p><div style="text-align:left"><img src="cid:ii_kq2m6t5t0" alt="SimCenter@1x.jpg" width="558" height="118"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left"><div><br></div><div><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=12XbEVKyTmNxWz2zhiLdBZVYuFfNlVaKQ&export=download" width="95" height="96"><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br>
