Highly accurate prediction of engine flow provides valuable insights into the details of flow physics and is therefore a decisive factor in the development of future ultra-efficient propulsion systems for climate-neutral flying. The scale-resolving simulations used in the EU Horizon project Sci-Fi-Turbo – Scale-resolving Simulations for Innovations in Turbomachinery Design allow for a significantly higher level of detail in the solution compared to today's standard industrial calculation methods. At IFAS, suitable turbomachinery-specific post-processing methods and robust workflows are being developed for the efficient use of the resource-intensive calculations. In addition to CPU-based CFD solvers, GPU-based CFD solvers are also used on HPC clusters.
