Ongoing advances in software and hardware, combined with the rapid growth of highperformance computing, have created exciting opportunities to take engineering simulation to new levels of scale, speed and fidelity. Perhaps nowhere are the boundaries being pushed further than in the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), where transience, turbulence, instability and other variables frequently result in an enormous degree of simulation size and complexity.
While leading-edge CFD simulations occur in many industries and applications, the world’s universities are at the forefront of some of today’s most exciting CFD engineering innovations. Partnering with industry leaders via consortiums — while simultaneously leveraging “best and brightest” young engineers and large academic computing clusters — a number of university professors around the world are working at the extreme frontiers of CFD simulation.
