Euler - Paradign-shift in fluid mechanics enabling massive energy savings

Authors: Johan Jansson (jjan@kth.se), Claes Johnson, Ridgway Scott, Rebecca Durst, Linde Van Beers

• Today the industry does not trust aerodynamics simulation - calls it "Colorful Fluid Dynamics"
• Our Euler aerodynamics paradigm-shift makes simulation reliable - direct simulation of natural laws
• You can now reliably design, optimize, certify and innovate aircraft, wind turbines, ships, etc. in the web browser, 100x faster and cheaper than industry standard.
• Strong NASA recognition of breakthrough Euler aerodynamics from NASA Branch Chief of Computational Aerodynamics Cetin Kiris
• Delivered as DigiMat online course, largest online course in Sweden with 30000+ participants.

Concrete benefits for academia and industry

• Innovate and optimize aerodynamic designs of vehicles, power generation, etc. - increase energy efficiency and e.g. range of vehicles.
• Reduce computational cost and energy use by at least 100x-10000x.

Peer Review

Our results and methodology were peer-reviewed by the NASA leaders of the High Lift Prediction Workshop, considered to be the most important benchmark for aerodynamics in the field. NASA Branch Chief of Computational Aerodynamics Cetin Kiris, wrote a public review as part of the workshop summary here:

W-030 [Johan Janssons team] shows promise with a rapid LES solution procedure with measurable improvements over RANS but is not representative of typical WMLES due to the assumed Reynolds number invariance (Euler Eqs). The validity of this procedure for high lift applications needs to be investigated more critically.

This is "as good as it gets" statement in a peer-review in a setting like this.
