CASE STUDY / “Rolls-Royce is a leader in the implementation of a new high-performance computing (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 time than running the problem on a local workstation.” Marius Swoboda Head of Design Systems Engineering / Rolls-Royce Germany Rolls-Royce Reduces the Time Required for a Coupled CFD–Structural Simulation by 80% Using Cloud Computing CASE STUDY /2 Rolls-Royce Reduces the Time Required for a Coupled CFD-Structural Simulation by 80% Usi
