Two training sessions for the Palabos software are announced to take place in Lausanne, Switzerland (close to the Geneva airport).The sessions extend over two days, with an optional prior technical introduction to the lattice Boltzmann method. The first session takes place on September 12-14, 2012, and the second on October 31 - November 2, 2012.
Palabos (www.palabos.org) is an open-source CFD software based on the lattice Boltzmann method. It has attracted attention through its massive parallel performance and its multi-physics solvers for thermal and multi-phase problems.
The trainings are provided with first-hand knowledge from core developers of Palabos and focus on practical aspects of setting up and running simulations with this software.
