# Introduction ![GitHub all releases](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/HEMLab/HiPIMS-CUDA/total?logo=GitHub)

HiPIMS standards for **Hi**gh-**P**erformance **I**ntegrated hydrodynamic **M**odelling **S**ystem. It uses state-of-art numerical schemes (Godunov-type finite volume) to solve the 2D shallow water equations for flood simulations. To support high-resolution flood simulations, HiPIMS is implemented on multiple GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) using CUDA/C++ languages to achieve high-performance computing. Since HiPIMS has a modular and flexible structure, it has great potential to be further developed for other applications in hydrological science as long as the problem can be solved on a uniform rectangular grid.

# Using HiPIMS

HiPIMS has been embedded in **[Pypims](https://pypims.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)**, the Python APIs for HiPIMS, which provides a user-friendly integrated toolchain for preparing inputs, running HiPIMS and visualising outputs.

# Contributing and Acknowledgement

HiPIMS is developed and maintained by the **[Hydro-Environmental Modelling Labarotory](http://www.hemlab.org)**, a research hub for technological innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. The development of HiPIMS is led by Professor [Qiuhua Liang](https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/abce/staff/qiuhua-liang/) and represents the effort of nearly two decades and many researchers.
