At least once a year, we are hosting the 5-day seminar ''An Introduction to the Large-Eddy Simulation Model PALM'', which covers all the above-mentioned topics (Class of 2020 in Fig. 1).\\\\ }}} {{{#!td align=left style="border: none; vertical-align:top; width: 50%" [[Image(palm_seminar_2020.jpg, width=600px, border=2, link=attachment)]]\\ Fig 1: PALM seminar group 2020 at IMUK, Leibniz University Hannover.

The respective PDF presentations are available as attachments below ([#normal normal] and [#handout handout] version). At the '''PALM seminar 2020''' in Hanover, we are going to work with PALM revision number r4389. The PALM code is currently under heavy development. To view the code changes since then, feel free to [//trac/browser browse] the repository, or have a look at the [wiki:doc/tec/changelog changelog].\\\\ [[Image(seminar_schedule_2020.png, 710px, left,
