Computational Resources

The institute has access to a number of computing systems.

For smaller scales and test computations we operate a number of state-of-the-art local workstations. These machines can cover most steady-state approaches (RANS) with small or medium grid size and/or time-resolving simulations (typically uRANS) on smaller meshes, e.g. 2D-simulations.

For medium scale computations the institute holds a share of the TU Braunschweig computing cluster PHOENIX. Phoenix can manage all types of fluids mechanical simulations.

For very large scale simulations, such as scale-resolving approaches (LES) on large grids, the institute can access the high-performance computing systems of HLRN. If required, HLRN can handle simulations in the excess of thousand cores and run-times of several months, if required.
