High-Performance Integrated hydrodynamic Modelling System (HiPIMS)
HiPIMS is a high-performance modelling suite for simulating different types of flooding, rainfall-induced hazard chains and other relevant processes.
The core of HiPIMS solves the fully 2D shallow water equations using a shock-capturing Godunov-type finite volume numerical scheme and is implemented on multiple GPUs to achieve high-performance computing. HiPIMS is built on robust numerical methods that have been continuously developed for over two decades by academics and researchers from , initiated and led by Prof Qiuhua Liang. A range of innovative simulation approaches have also been implemented and coupled to HiPIMS to achieve multi-process modelling to support ‘whole-system’ hazard risk assessment and management.
