The Current State of Underwater Farming Looks Ready for Simulation. The Nemo’s Garden project has been in motion for a decade now—since 2012, when inspiration struck Sergio Gamberini while he was on vacation. The idea to build underwater farming structures was born from thinking about the best possible conditions for growing basil.The ambitious goal of Nemo’s Garden is to “create an alternative system of agriculture, especially dedicated to those areas where environmental conditions, economical or morphologic reasons make plant growth extremely difficult.

Large-Eddy Simulations of Turbulence
By M. Lesieur, Laboratoire des Ecoulements, Grenoble, O. Métais, Laboratoire des Ecoulements, Grenoble, P. Comte, Laboratoire des Ecoulements, Grenoble. Large-Eddy Simulations of Turbulence is an ideal introduction for people new to LES [large-eddy simulation], direct numerical simulation and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation, and as a reference for researchers of particular interest in the text are the
(more…)Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics
Author Joel H. Ferziger and Milovan Peric. The book offers an overview of the techniques used to solve problems in fluid mechanics on computers and describes in detail those most often used in practice. Included are advanced methods in computational fluid dynamics, like direct and large-eddy simulation of turbulence, multigrid methods, parallel computing, moving grids, structured, block-structured and unstructured boundary-fitted grids, free surface flows.

KRATOS Multiphysics (“Kratos”) is a framework for building parallel, multi-disciplinary simulation software, aiming at modularity, extensibility, and high performance. Kratos is written in C++, and counts with an extensive Python interface
(more…)FreeFEM
FreeFEM is a partial differential equation solver for non-linear multi-physics systems in 2D and 3D using the finite element method. Problems involving partial differential equations from several branches of physics such as fluid-structure interactions require interpolations of data on several meshes and their manipulation within one program. FreeFEM includes a fast interpolation algorithm and a language for the manipulation of data on multiple meshes. It is written in C++ and the FreeFEM language is a C++ idiom.
(more…)FEniCS
FEniCS is a popular open-source computing platform for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) with the finite element method (FEM). FEniCS enables users to quickly translate scientific models into efficient finite element code. With the high-level Python and C++ interfaces to FEniCS, it is easy to get started, but FEniCS offers also powerful capabilities for more experienced programmers. FEniCS runs on a multitude of platforms ranging from laptops to high-performance computers.
