L'CADAME

Laboratório de Computação de Alto Desempenho e Aprendizado de Máquina em Engenharia (L'CADAME)

The high performance computing (HPC) and machine learning in the engineering laboratory (L'CADAME) is part of the Mechanical Engineering Program in collaboration with Applied Mathematics Department, at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).

L’CADAME is mainly focused on developing advanced numerical techniques and modeling complicated phenomena (such as inorganic scaling) for flow assurance applications. Our current projects are related to developing a new unconditionally hyperbolic “Slug Capturing” method to solve compositional flows (n-phase). The code developed for this purpose could handle as many phases, mixtures and components which is necessary and the whole process will be accelerated using the GPU platform. To simulate the thermodynamical behaviour of the multi-phase/multi-component flow, a new PVT solver is also under development. This solver can handle 3-phase settings (liquid-CO2 liquid-gas), will be data aware by using machine learning to re-calibrate the coefficients on fly, and is boosted using GPU computation.
