My work with Prof. Ignazio Maria Viola VOILAb: Vortex Interaction Laboratory on the vortex dynamics around a permeable disc, funded by European Research Council (ERC), has won the Best Early Career Researcher Entry in the ARCHER2 HPC Service Image Competition 2024! The gallery of all the submissions: lnkd.in/eESFB_mk

In this study, we investigate the effects of sweep angle and reduced frequency on the leading-edge vortex structure over flapping swept wings using the force partitioning method! The simulations are carried out using the IDDES approach in #OpenFOAM. pubs.aip.org/aip/pof/articl…

A fantastic, inspiring lecture by Prof. Babinsky!

We welcome you to the University of Birmingham for the third edition of the #Midlands #Fluid #Mechanics #Meeting (#MFMM2025), to be held on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. Abstract submission is now open until April 30, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Registration link: lnkd.in/erBqPvAx.

The BEAR Conference is all set up – ready to welcome everyone! Looking forward to a great day of talks, posters & conversations about how BEAR services are powering research across the University: bear-conference-2025.github.io/schedule.html ^YZ

Kicking off #BEARPGRConf25 with a warm welcome from Dietmar Heinke, Chair of the BEAR User Group. Many thanks to our PGR Conference Committee for their fantastic efforts in putting today’s event together! ^YZ

Dr Chandan Bose presented at #bearpgrconf25 on simulating the aerodynamics of butterfly swarms using GPU-accelerated fluid–structure interaction solvers. His group is developing an open-source multi-GPU framework for bio-inspired flight research. ^YZ

Hibah Saddal gave the final pre-lunch talk at #bearpgrconf25, showcasing how she models bio-inspired fluid–structure interaction using open-source tools. Her work takes cues from bird feathers to simulate flexible flaps on wings, with applications in UAV design. ^YZ

The second keynote this afternoon from Dr Chandan Bose, Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering, sharing how his team uses HPC to tackle complex multi-physics problems — from unsteady aerodynamics to bio-inspired fluid-structure interactions. #BEARChallenge2025 ^YZ

🛩️ Bio-inspired flaps & morphing wings meet HPC! PhD student Hibah Saddal uses Uni of Birmingham’s #BlueBEAR to simulate next-gen aerodynamic designs for UAVs. 🔗 blog.bham.ac.uk/bear/2025/07/2… #Aerospace #HPC #FSI

Hibah Saddal and Dr Chandan Bose have won the EPCC ARCHER2 Best Image Prize for research on morphing wings which explores bio-inspired morphing wings with variable flexibility to enhance aerodynamic efficiency and performance: archer2.ac.uk/about/gallery/… Chandan Bose @ BioFSILab UoB ARCHER2 HPC Service
