Description: Contexte et atouts du poste Within the framework of the European project EuroHPC-02-2019 eflows4HPC, and in collaboration with the partners of the pillar I of the project: CIMNE, SISSA, SIEMENS and Duke University.With hosting by the Inria Bordeaux Sud-Ouest research center and regular travel foreseen within the activities and collaborations mentioned above.Developments contributing to the open source projects mmg and kratos multiphysics, as well asthe model reduction libraries RBniCS and the ITHACA suite by Sissa, and some in house research codes forsome of the initial methodological developments. Where possible workflows environments developed at the Barcelona Supercoputing Center (coordinator of eflows4HPC, see for example comps) will be used to allow an efficient and transparent management of data, computational ressources, and processes. Mission confiée Assignments : The main objetive of this work is to develop improved adaptive remeshing techniques in the framework of model reduction and optimization with parametrized geometries, and in particular in conjunction with immersed and/or embedded boundary simulations. The purpose is twofold: on one side to propose an efficient (in terms of storage) and unified spatial basis setting to represent multiple solutions on unstructured adaptive meshes. This requirement is essential to provide an efficient unified representation of multiple solutions on adaptive meshes in a parametrized setting. This representation is necessary for several operations related to inverse modelling, of model reduction (e.g. method of snapshots), to compute statistics etc.on the other hand we aim at exploiting the information available in a parametrized setting to speed up the adaptation process itself by e.g. constructing appropriate surrogate models of mesh metrics or error estimators These assignements will both involve theoretical work related toerror estimation and approximation in physical and parametric space, with a final demonstration in an efficient setting involving workflows developed at the Barcelona Supercomputing center and based on open source software developed at Inria, Cimne, and at Sissa.For a better knowledge of the proposed research subject :N.
