News 1: N8 CIR Retreat
The N8 Centre of Excellence in Computationally Intensive Research (N8 CIR) has been given some funds by EPSRC to bring together some soft/professional skills training for digital research infrastructure professionals. The programme will take the form of a five-day retreat, similar to the virtual residencies that have been held at the University of Oklahoma since 2015. The goal is to develop the soft-skills specifically associated with operating at the interface between researchers and technology.

News 2: Industry-academia interface (IAI) day on the use of high-performance computing for CFD
The focus of this IAI day is to better understand the use of high-performance computing in various flow solvers targeting fluid flows of industrial relevance, and to discuss the challenges and opportunities that will come with exascale computing.
The event will be held online via Zoom on Wednesday 4th May 2022 from 1pm to 5pm UK time (for registration please contact Sylvain Laizet from Imperial College London).
Agenda:
13.00-13.10 Welcome and Opening Remarks (Sylvain Laizet)
13.10-13.40 Charles Moulinec (SFTC) & Yvan Fournier (EDF): Using and updating an industrial CFD code for and through research
13.40-14.10 Fred Mendonca (ESI Group): Some insights into deployment of the prolific opensource CFD, OpenFOAM, towards exascale computing
14.10-14.40 Mark Allan (ZENOTECH): High Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aero-Acoustics with zCFD
14.40-15.00 Break
15.00-15.30 Moritz Kreutzer (Siemens Software): The Simcenter STAR-CCM+ HPC ecosystem
15.30-16.00 Dipankar Choudhury (ANSYS): Delightful Digital Exploration With CFD, Made Possible by Accelerator Node Computing
16.00-16.45 Facilitated discussion and Q&A with participants
16.45 Close
News 3: UK Turbulence Consortium annual meeting 2022
The first in-person annual meeting for the UKTC was held at the end of March at Imperial College London. The event was well attended with over 90 participants. It was a nice opportunity for our community to catch up with each other.
