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!
Czech companies also use computational fluid dynamics to innovate products or processes and gain an advantage over their competitors. Read about them in these stories about successful collaborations:
This podcast has been produced thanks to the European Centre of Excellence for Engineering Applications (EXCELLERAT), with financial support from the European Commission and the EuroHPC JU initiative (a joint project between the EU, European countries, and private partners to develop a supercomputing ecosystem in Europe.
