Modern day scientific progress, research and discovery is dependent on computational capability. In many fields, large-scale physical experimentation has been replaced by computational modelling and simulation. The computational approaches reduce cost through eliminating the needs for designing several physical prototypes iteratively. Moreover, the development time can be reduced through improving design maturity by building detailed…
The global freshwater use has increased by a factor of six over the past 100 years [1] and according to the United Nations [2] over two billion people live in countries experiencing water stress. Climate change is making matters worse. As an example, despite a massive deluge in Southern Pakistan in the summer of 2022,…
