Project description
Aerospace modelling tools get an upgrade to harness the most powerful computing platforms
When it comes to aerospace design, trial and error has no place. Prototyping and wind tunnel testing campaigns are phenomenally expensive, as are real flight tests. Large-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models have been integral to reducing the costs and time of aerospace development while enhancing the performance of components and systems. However, they are lagging behind the exponential rate at which computing power is increasing. The EU-funded NextSim project is developing the next generation of CFD tools for extreme-scale parallel computing platforms. The tools will enable the industry to solve problems currently out of reach within the constraints of balancing accuracy versus computational load.
