KU Aerospace Engineering Team Wins Valuable Time on Supercomputer to Research Improved Aerodynamics
A team led by a University of Kansas professor of aerospace engineering has been awarded time on one of the world’s fastest supercomputers. They’ll use it to help solve one of the “grand challenges” in developing the next generation of aircraft.
The group headed by Z.J. Wang, Spahr Professor of Aerospace Engineering, was one of 51 teams around the world to receive the INCITE award from the U.S. Department of Energy. Wang and his colleagues — Joshua Romero of NVIDIA Corporation and Nick Wyman of Cadence Design Systems — will have the use of 590,000 “node hours” of time on the Summit supercomputer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
