In the last decade fire science and fire engineering have grown thanks to the continuous progress of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), both in the field of theoretical modelling of physical phenomena
We need a process to capture and analyse conversations that NGIs have with scientific communities. These processes could help EGI to
and in the field of technological implementation of these models through the use of complex algorithms and thanks to the grown power of modern computers. CFD and numerical heat transfer are characterized by huge computational demand, far beyond the capabilities of current computers for certain applications. Not only computing power but also advanced networking and data storage systems are needed for this type of simulations. Correct parallel implementation of CFD techniques requires solution of nontrivial numerical problems. There are essentially two possibilities for simulating fire with CFD models:
* know who we (as a community) talk to
* using general purpose CFD models to study the effects of fire (such as Fluent or StarCD)
* see the big picture of collaborations between NGIs and scientific communities
* using CFD models purposely developed for the study of fire and its effects (such as FDS and Smartfire) - require good knowledge of fire and its effects; geometrical set-up of fire scenario is usually very complex, because these models at this stage do not include internal CAD features and do not allow automatic import of CAD files; PyroSim is a graphical user interface for FDS.
* identify commonalities and faciliate the reuse of best practices.
 
The participants of this VT will act as the guinea pigs to develop and test this data gathering process and then act as the reviewers to improve the process based on their own experience of using it. The refined process will then be circulated to all of the NILs in order to complete the data gathering exercise across EGI.  
This Virtual Team follows the second option and aims to establish a fire and smoke simulation Virtual Research Community on EGI by
* Porting sequential and parallel implementations of the FDS application to the European Grid Infrastructure.
* Identifying user communities for the ported application.
* Providing support for the communities in using the FDS application on EGI.
* further developing the FDS application based on the feedback from the users.

EGI Virtual teams: Main Active Projects Closed Projects Guidelines



General Project Information

  • Leader: Gergely Sipos, EGI.eu
  • Mailing List: vt-egi-intelligence-collection@mailman.egi.eu
  • Status: Active
  • Start Date: 10/Nov/2011
  • End Date: When output is reached
  • Meetings: Minutes of first meeting

Motivation

We need a process to capture and analyse conversations that NGIs have with scientific communities. These processes could help EGI to

  • know who we (as a community) talk to
  • see the big picture of collaborations between NGIs and scientific communities
  • identify commonalities and faciliate the reuse of best practices.

The participants of this VT will act as the guinea pigs to develop and test this data gathering process and then act as the reviewers to improve the process based on their own experience of using it. The refined process will then be circulated to all of the NILs in order to complete the data gathering exercise across EGI.

Output

The output of this project are processes which can be communicated to EGI staff (NGI & EGI.eu) so that when they talk to user communities (informally or at meetings) they know how to record the conversation with these communities for EGI so that a European wide picture of activity and prospects can be built up. The processes are implemented within a EGI Client Relationship Management (CRM) system and are documented in the EGI CRM user manual. One specific domain where NGIs and EGI.eu staff is encouraged to use these processes is gathering and recording information about ESFRI projects. These projects, as well as their institutional contacts in the various countries are available within the CRM.

Tasks

The output of the project has been achieved by the following tasks:

  1. Define what we (an an NGI, or as a community) would like to know about the conversations of NGIs and scientific communities? --> NGI_community_interactions
  2. Formalise requirements for Ibergrid, operator of the EGI CRM system
  3. Review the CRM service, provide feedback to Ibergrid
  4. Document the processes in a manual

Requirements:

  • The process should be flexible enough so it can be used in various interview and conversation situations;
  • The process should be simple enough so it does not cause an overhead for interviewers;
  • The process should result information that can be processed later.
