Bornö Workshop 2015

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Topic

Organiziers and participants have backgrounds in either oceanography (ocean modelling) or computer science. To some degree, all participants know both worlds.

The aim of the workshop was to find areas of common interest in oceanography and computer science, i.e. pressing problems in oceanography that require novel computing methods to solve.

Place and Time

Monday, July 20 to Friday, July 27 at Bornö Stationen, a small retreat in Sweden (Address: Holma 310, 454 91 Brastad, Sweden)
