"Simulations are becoming larger and more complex for the coal, oil, gas and biomass industries looking to improve new or aging combustion plants. CFD analysis is crucial for the delivery of energy-efficient bespoke solutions for our customers experiencing problems with combustion or high emissions. The new OCF HPC cluster enables us to produce a greater number of simulations at a much faster rate than before and helps support the resolution of complex emissions challenges for our customers."

"We conduct ground-breaking research including testing for next-generation design of battery, solar and nuclear materials, as well as more far-reaching applications such as modelling fingerprint development reagents and their reactions with surfaces. Having a high-spec facility like Lovelace allows us to perform cutting-edge simulations putting us at the forefront of materials modelling research. It also helps hugely when applying for grant funding, to say that we have up-to-date in-house high-performance computing facilities. And it is important for recruiting top-class students and developing their skills and confidence to become the next generation of computational scientists."
