STORM & MOUSE replaced the previous HPC-cluster EDDY with  a new, more powerful system for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). For this purpose, project fundings have been obtained by ForWind Oldenburg under the project management of Jun. Prof. Laura Lukassen with the participation of the division of Scientific Computing of the University of Oldenburg.

The project RE-HPC was approved on Dec. 01, 2021 under the grant number ZW7- 85186744 and is funded by the Investitions- und Förderbank des Landes Niedersachsen (NBank) and the Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur (MWK) of the State of Lower Saxony.  The funding is provided under the REACT-EU set-up aid (ERDF guideline "Innovation durch Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen" according to paragraph 2.1.2 " Aufbau und Erweiterung von Infrastrukturen der Spitzenforschung") as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The joint project "MOUSE – Multiskalen- und multiphysikalische Modelle und Simulationen für die Windenergie" was approved as of 01.07.22 under the funding code 03EE3067A. The funding is provided by the  Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz  (BMWK) via the Projektträger Jülich (PTJ).

Under both projects, the CFD cluster will be used for simulations and data analysis in wind energy research by several research groups.
