Leveraging SingAREN’s Networks and Services to Accelerate Data Transfer for NUS Researchers
Linda Lim, Executive, Engagement and Publicity, SingAREN, on 13 February 2022
Improving routing efficiency while reducing latency, Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAREN) facilitates high-speed transfers of large datasets, both within Singapore and across international boundaries, for scientific research and enables advanced network technology demonstrations through its international links and high-speed fiber network. Nationally, SingAREN has developed a resilient fiber infrastructure inter-linking NUS, NTU, A*STAR and NSCC. Besides advanced internet connectivity, SingAREN offers value-added services such as complimentary consultation on network streamlining to massively speed up data set transfers. Through eduroam wifi with NUS credentials, NUS staff and students can access internet from other research and education institutions anywhere in the world.

Using regional climate models to understand hydrological risks from reforestation
Teo Hoong Chen and Prof Koh Lian Pin, Researchers in the Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions, on 28 May 2021
Reforesting degraded lands is one of the most promising nature-based climate solitions (NCS), with over 850 million hectares of reforestation potential worldwide. Proponents of reforestation point to the importance of forests in intensifying the hydrological cycle, increasing precipitation recycling and water yield. However, studies also show that reforesting drier regions can increase evapotranspiration and reduce the water yield, negatively impacting the local ecosystem and communities.
Utilizing HPC Resources for HVAC CFD of Train Cabins
Bervyn Goh Yu Fen, Mechanical Engineering, NUS, on 28 May 2021
Passenger thermal comfort in automotive vehicles is an important factor that determines a commuter’s overall experience. Such an experience is provided for by an efficient HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning) system which distributes cool air throughout a vehicle. It is, therefore, appropriate to conduct a computational analysis of a HVAC system for the vehicle in order to study its steady-state temperature and air velocity profile.
High Resolution Modelling of Weather and Climate over Singapore and Southeast Asia
Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Son & Dr. Sri Raghavan, Tropical Marine Science Institute, NUS, on 21 January 2021
The researchers from the Climate and Water Research cluster at the Tropical Marine Science Institute (TMSI) use the National Supercomputer Centre’s (NSCC’s) supercomputing resources to investigate how the climate and weather impact the region, by using complex computer models at high spatial resolutions of 400m over the entire Singapore.
Unlocking the interactive physics in two-phase chemically reacting flows with high-performance computing
Asst. Prof Zhang Huangwei, Department of Mechanical Engineering, NUS, on 21 January 2021
Two-phase chemically reacting flows widely exist in engineering practise, such as propulsion system, power generation, industrial hazard prevention, and nanomaterial flame synthesis. Normally they include dispersed droplets or particles in a continuous gas phase field, where elementary chemical reactions proceed. Comprehensive interactions occur between these two phases, which however renders it difficult to accurately articulate how the dispersed droplets behave and influence the reacting flow dynamics. As a research team in NUS, we aim to unveil the underlying interactive mechanisms behind the chemically reacting flows based on high-fidelity numerical simulations and advanced data analysis method.
