Rolls-Royce is a leader in the implementation of a new high-performance comput- ing (HPC) cloud approach in which a structural solver is coupled with ANSYS Fluent computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to provide heat flux predictions at many points on component walls of jet engines. Because of the near-linear scalability of Fluent, running the coupled fluid–structural simulation on an HPC cluster in the cloud was five times faster wall-clock tim
