A newly founded Dutch research consortium for transport algorithms and scientific computing focuses at developing highly efficient, parallel software for 3D transport simulation.
All partners are already active in the field and involved in various joint projects.
Within the consortium long term cooperation is envisaged. For densely populated and industrialized countries, control of levels of pollution is becoming more and more important in view of the growing awareness of damaging effects. Reduction of pollution is in general an expensive procedure leading to high costs for society and industry. It is therefore necessary to determine as accurately as possible critical levels and to reduce and control pollution optimally so as to minimize costs. This is a very difficult task and requires complicated simulation models which have to be run on high-speed computers.
