I joined the Computational Multiphase Flow Research<br />
Group in the summer after my sophomore<br />
year. Led by Dr. Mehdi Raessi, the research group<br />
is primarily focused on Computational Fluid Dynamics<br />
(CFD) simulations of two immiscible fluids<br />
interacting with moving or stationary solid bodies.<br />
Specifically, I was assigned to a project funded by<br />
the National Science Foundation (CBET Grant No.<br />
1236462), which involved simulations of Ocean<br />
Wave Energy Converters interacting with ocean<br />
waves. These Wave Energy Converters are complex<br />
to simulate, and require a large supercomputer to<br />
run for an extended period of time. How quickly the<br />
supercomputer solves the problem mainly depends<br />
on its hardware—processors, network cables, etc.<br />
There are several supercomputers available to us<br />
