Fluid flow simulations using supercomputers accelerate innovation in aerospace and industry

by News

At the end of 2024, the Supercomputing in Europe podcast was created, in which supercomputing experts from all over Europe discuss a wide range of topics. What are high-performance computing systems used for, and why are they key to research and development? What are the new emerging technologies? What is the relationship between artificial intelligence and supercomputers?

What is the potential of quantum computing? Please find the answers to these questions and more in our bi-weekly podcast episodes.

In the latest episode, Sophia Honisch from the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) talks to Matthias Meink, Head of the Numerical Department of the Institute of Aerodynamics at RWTH Aachen University.

Meinke shares insights into the key role of high-performance computing (HPC) in aerodynamic simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. He also reflects on the challenges associated with performing simulations on the most powerful exascale supercomputing systems, the development of tools for multiphysics simulations, and the broader impact of these findings on aerodynamics and engineering.

To give you an idea – if a supercomputer has a power of 1 exaflop, it can solve a billion billion floating point operations per second.

🎧 This episode shows how supercomputer simulations are changing the industry and helping to create safer, more economical, and more efficient technologies. Listen to the entire episode and immerse yourself in the world where revolutionary innovations are born!

Our team prepares dozens of training courses per year for those interested in learning about high-performance computing, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. We offer courses and workshops ranging from beginner level to deeply specialised topics for the advanced.

However, user needs are changing dynamically. Therefore, we identify current needs through a Training Needs Survey when preparing new training programmes.

Read more about the latest survey results in the detailed analysis.

Survey results in a nutshell:

Training needs:

  • The most popular are HPC courses at all levels. 60% of respondents said it was very interesting.
    • Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the second most popular topic. 36 % of respondents said it was very interesting.
    • Quantum computing is on the rise, but most respondents have minimal experience in this area.
  • Training formats and delivery methods:
    • The most preferred format was a combination of theoretical lectures and practical exercises.
    • Online training has become the most convenient form.  Preferences for face-to-face training are declining.
    • The most requested are one-day or shorter training courses.
  • The greatest interest was in the following specific course topics:
    • Access to HPC resources.
    • Parallel programming (MPI, OpenMP).
    • GPU-accelerated computing.
    • Neural Network Architectures for AI.
    • Introduction to Gate-Based Quantum Computing.

A total of 105 respondents, mainly from academia, industry, and the public sector, participated in the survey. Those interested in training tend to come from domains such as computer science, applied mathematics, and materials science.
