+title: "IMEXLBM: A Portable Lattice-Boltzmann Solver for Heterogeneous Platforms"
+abstract: >-
+  A single-phase lattice-Boltzmann solver (D3Q27, MPI domain decomposition)
+  built on the Kokkos performance-portability library. One source set builds
+  for CUDA, HIP and SYCL; the backend is selected entirely by which Kokkos
+  build is linked. Includes machine-specific build and job configurations for
+  ALCF Polaris, ALCF Aurora and OLCF Frontier.
