As one of Europe’s leading aerospace research institutions, it’s no surprise that France’s Office National d’Etudes et Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA) has a huge appetite for HPC processing power and that it is constantly looking for ways to push its research capabilities to the next level. Currently, as part of its priorities for 2030, ONERA is…
Revving Up Turbulence Modeling to Improve Engine Design
Scientists pursuing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and combustion research are constantly hungry for more computing power. Consider the study of turbulent combustion, which is important for improving the designs and advancing the efficiency of devices and engines; to keep computation costs in check, scientists must limit the range of the turbulent scales they analyze, which…
How Kyoto’s HPC System is Exploring Forecast Failures in High Resolution
Japan is no stranger to extreme weather. Every year, much of the country faces a rainy season as well as the prospect of typhoons from August through October. At the same time, rising sea levels and weather uncertainties related to climate change are putting much of Japan’s densely populated cities and coastlines at risk from…
