Together, researchers from Argonne, Aramco, and Convergent Science evaluated a first-of-its-kind engine design on an IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer located at Argonne National Laboratory. Thousands of engine design variations were tested in parallel to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. The designs were evaluated in a matter of days, rather than months, using capacity computing assisted by machine learning to further reduce design time. The simulations were performed using CONVERGE, a computational fluid dynamics software from Convergent Science.
