Abstract
Modeling and simulation, particularly flow modeling using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), is critical to the design of advanced jet engines. GE’s needs and advances in CFD mirror in many respects the NASA 2030 vision and GE is leveraging to good effect advances in high performance computing as the compute power pushes to Exascale. A number of recent examples will be shared highlighting the ways GE is using advanced compute power and CFD.
Brief Biography
Dr. Brian E. Mitchell is a Senior Principal Engineer at GE Research with technical leadership responsibilities in the Thermosciences discipline. Dr. Mitchell is responsible for the development of GE’s in-house Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) RANS software used at GE in the design of turbomachinery airfoils. His technical interests include aero-mechanics, turbomachinery aerodynamics, parallel scalability, and code performance. Dr. Mitchell holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and has been with GE for over 25 years.
