All the PATC courses at BSC are free of charge.\n\nCourse c onvener: Arnau Folch\n\nCourse lecturers: \n\nJosé Manuel González Vida (Malaga University)\, Matteo Cerminara (INGV Pias)\, Leonardo Mingari (CA SE Department\, BSC)\n\nObjectives: This course focuses on modelling two o f the highest impact natural hazards\, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. Th e objective is to give a succinct theoretical overview and then introduce students on the use of different HPC flagship codes included in the Center of Excellence for Exascale in Solid Earth (ChEESE). ASHEE is a volcanic p lume and PDC simulator based on a multiphase fluid dynamic model conceived for compressible mixtures composed of gaseous components and solid partic le phases. FALL3D is a Eulerian model for the atmospheric transport and gr ound deposition of volcanic tephra (ash) used in operational volcanic ash dispersal forecasts routinely used to prevent aircraft encounters with vol canic ash clouds and to perform re-routings avoiding contaminated airspace areas. T-HySEA solves the 2D shallow water equations on hydrostatic and d ispersive versions. Based on a high-order Finite Volume (FV) discretisatio n (hydrostatic) with Finite Differences (FD) for the dispersive version on two-way structured nested meshes in spherical coordinates. Together with hands-on sessions\, the course will also tackle post-process strategies ba sed on python. In recent years\, the Python programming language has becom e one of the most popular choice for geoscientists. Python is a modern\, i nterpreted\, object-oriented\, open-source language easy to learn\, easy t o read\, and fast to write. The proliferation of multiple open-source proj ects with libraries available every day\, have facilitated a rapid scienti fic development in the geoscience community. In addition\, the modern data structures and object-oriented nature of the language along with an elega nt syntax\, enable Earth scientists to write more robust and less buggy co de.\n\nLearning outcomes: Participants will learn and gain experience in i nstalling SE codes and related utilities and libraries\, running numerical simulations\, monitoring the execution of supercomputing jobs\, analyzing and visualizing model results.\n\nLevel: (All courses are designed for sp ecialists with at least 1st cycle degree or similar background experience) \nINTERMEDIATE: for trainees with some theoretical and practical knowledge \; those who finished the beginners course\n\nPrerequisites: \n\nAt least University degree in progress on Earth Sciences\, Computer Sciences or rel ated area.\n\n\n \n Basic knowledge of LINUX\n \n \n Knowledge of C\, FORT RAN\, MPI or openMP is recommended\n \n \n Knowledge of Earth Sciences dat a formats is recommended (grib\, netcdf\, hdf\,…)\n \n \n Basic knowledg e of python\n \n\n\nAgenda:\n\nDay 1\n\nSession 1 / 10:00am – 1:30pm (3 h lectures)\n\n10:00-11:30 Volcanic clouds and plumes: Introduction to the physical problem\n\n11:30-11:50 Coffee break\n\n11:50-13:30 Introduction FALL3D\n\n13:30-14:30 Lunch break\n\n \n\nSession 2 / 2:30pm – 6:00 pm (1:30 h lectures\, 2 h practical)\n\n14:30-16:00 Introduction to ASHEE\n\n 16:00-16:20 Coffee break\n\n16:20-18:00 Installation and compilation of FA LL3D and ASHEE\n\n \n\nDay 2\n\nSession 1 / 10:00am – 1:30pm (3 h hands -on)\n\n10:00-11:30 FALL3D hands on I\n\n11:30-11:50 Coffee break\n\n11:50 -13:30 FALL3D hands on II\n\n13:30-14:30 Lunch break\n\n \n\nSession 2 / 2:30pm – 6:00 pm (1:30 h lectures\, 2 h practical)\n\n14:30-16:00 ASHEE hands on I\n\n16:00-16:20 Coffee break\n\n16:20-18:00 ASHEE hands on II\n\ n \n\nDay 3\n\nSession 1 / 10:00am – 1:30pm (1:30 h lectures\, 1:40 h p ractical)\n\n10:00-11:30 Introduction to tsunami modeling and the Tsunami- HySEA code\n\n11:30-11:50 Coffee break\n\n11:50-13:30 Tsunami-HySEA: from simple to complex simulations\n\n13:30-14:30 Lunch break\n\n \n\nSession 2 / 2:30pm – 6:00 pm (3 h hands-on)\n\n14:30-16:00 Tsunami-HySEA hands o n I\n\n16:00-16:20 Coffee break\n\n16:20-18:00 Tsunami-HySEA hands on II\n \n \n\nDay 4\n\nSession 1 / 10:00am – 1:30pm (3 h lectures)\n\n10:00-11 :30 A brief introduction to the Python language and object oriented progra mming\n\n11:30-11:50 Coffee break\n\n11:50-13:30 Scientific computing tool s and reading files and accessing remote data\n\n13:30-14:30 Lunch break\n \n \n\nA brief introduction to the Python language\n\n-Installing package s\n\nObject oriented programming\n\n-Examples on classes and motivation\n\ n-How to make a class\n\n-Method Objects\n\n-Example: manipulating dates a nd times \n\nScientific computing tools\n\n-Vectors and arrays: basic oper ations and manipulations\n\n-References and copies of arrays\n\n-Vectoriza tion\n\n-Statistics tools\n\n-Data Analysis with Pandas\n\nReading files a nd accessing remote data\n\n-Read and write multi-column data files \n\n-F ile formats used in geosciences netCDF\, HDF5\, HDF-EOS 2\, and GRIB 1 and 2\n\n-Data Access Services: OPeNDAP\, NetCDF Subset Service\, etc...\n\n- Example: Reading data from OpenDAP\n\n \n\nSession 2 / 2:30pm – 6:00 pm (3h hands-on)\n\n14:30-16:00 Visualization\n\n16:00-16:20 Coffee break\n\ n16:20-18:00 Examples and exercises\n\nVisualization\n\n-Simple line plots \n\n-Adjusting the plot\n\n-Visualization of geographic data\n\n-3D Scient ific data visualization\n\n \n\nExamples and exercises\n\n-FALL3D pre and post-processing tools\n\nEnd of Course\nhttps://events.prace-ri.eu/event/ 906/ SUMMARY:HPC and natural hazards: modelling tsunamis and volcanic plumes usi ng European flagship codes @ BSC URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/906/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
