Running direct numerical simulation on 'an industrial scale'

Scientists at the Technical University of Munich say they have developed a method to run suites of simulations to better understand turbulence in fluid flows and so deliver more efficient combustion for improved space propulsion systems.

Space propulsion in particular requires high-pressure environments, which help to efficiently turn the energy generated by burning fuel into thrust for the engine. To make it more efficient, TUM has been running massive simulations focused on understanding turbulent interactions of gas in high-pressure environments., direct numerical simulations are the most accurate way to model the complex interactions involved in turbulent fluid flows.
