• womENcourage™ 2026: Bringing Simulations to Life with Vistle

    How can highly complex simulation results be turned into compelling stories that empower both researchers and their audiences?

    This workshop introduces Vistle, an open-source visualization tool designed to embed scientific data into immersive virtual reality environments. Drawing on real examples from the “Center of Excellence for Computational Fluid Dynamics” (CEEC) project, the session offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Vistle was used to visualise large-scale CFD simulation results in virtual reality, first prototyping on a laptop and then scaling up to a computing cluster. Through lecture-style segments and live demonstrations, participants will learn how to create their own interactive visualization pipelines, adjust parameters on the fly, and customise workflows for their research.

  • From Lighthouse Cases to Exascale Practice: Outcomes of CEEC

    KTH Center for Scientific Computing (KCSC) Teknikringen 14, Stockholm, Sweden

    Since 2023, the Center of Excellence in Exascale CFD (CEEC) has worked to make high-fidelity CFD ready for Europe’s exascale systems. Its work has been driven by six lighthouse cases, addressing challenges from aeronautics, offshore energy, process engineering, shipping, and atmospheric flows, chosen to push physics and software to their limits. This community workshop presents what those cases have delivered, and is meant for CFD practitioners, code developers, HPC centers and industry users who want to see what exascale CFD delivers today, and where it goes next.
