Finding Solutions to Grand Challenges at the Frontier of CFD

We're surrounded by moving gases and liquids, whether our blood flow or the air flow around airplane wings. Understanding the turbulent behavior of gases and liquids  has direct societal impact. In fact, it will be key for enabling the transition to a carbon-free economy through optimizations like more fuel efficient airplanes and cargo ships or more ecologically sustainable wind turbines . 

With increasingly powerful computers and numerical algorithms, complex systems like these flows can be simulated with increasing realism, bypassing the time and expense of experimentation. However, codes aren't ready to run on these systems. Additionally, even at exascale, realistic flow simulations would run too slowly without tailoring accuracy to  specific cases. CEEC's goal is to enable using exascale computers for key computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications and demonstrate their capabilities through our light-house cases.
