Hackathons lead to speedups, increased efficiency for industry
The ability to simulate turbulent phenomena using high-performance computing (HPC) can provide industry with important insights for efficient engine design. Second only to the ability to perform these critical simulations is the speed at which they run. If a company can run a model more quickly, the number of possible design iterations increases, ultimately leading to a better end design.
