An integrated systems modelling approach in environmental modelling, simulation and analysis

One of the challenges in environmental systems resource management is a lack of continuum-integrated advanced mathematical modelling solutions and decision-support tools to evaluate interaction across environmental systems. Specifically, tools are needed to evaluate interaction between complex na...

A model to optimise train energy usage

The CSIR has developed a train energy optimisation model with the aim of incorporating it into a real-time driver assist programme. This optimisation algorithm has the potential to significantly reduce the energy usage and therefore, the cost of train operation. A significant portion of the South...

A CSIR-developed tool to solve problems related to fluid-structure-interactions

With more computational resources at the disposal of researchers, multi-physics simulations are becoming a reality. Fluid-structure interactions (FSI), a subclass of multi-physics problems is gaining in popularity. FSI can broadly be defined as the multi-field simulation or modelling of the inter...
