CEEC at WCCM – ECCOMAS 2026

Join us in Munich for the 17th World Congress on Computational Mechanics 10th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (WCCM – ECCOMAS 2026 ) for a talk called, “Adjoint Methods Using POD State Reconstructions on Modern HPC Architectures.”

Part of the mini-symposium MS349B Topology, Shape And Parameter Optimisation For Time-Dependent Systems II, the talk given by our own Harrison Nobis discusses the potential for placing checkpointing with Proper Orthogonal Decomposition to make adjoint sensitivity analysis in CFD more efficient and better suited to modern heterogeneous architectures.

Calibration of Analytical Suction Bucket Installation Models Using Grain-Scale LBM-DEM Simulations

Suction bucket foundations offer significant advantages for offshore wind applications, enabling fast and cost-efficient installation. However, installation failures due to piping erosion remain a critical challenge, particularly in loose or highly permeable seabeds. Understanding the interplay between seepage flow, soil properties, and foundation geometry during suction installation is essential for improving design guidelines and installation strategies. In this talk, Samuel Kemmler presents results that illustrate how fully resolved LBM-DEM modeling can complement experimental and field studies, providing a powerful tool for developing more robust suction bucket installation strategies in challenging seabed conditions.
