The understanding of fluid dynamics is at the heart of understanding most medical applications, be it inside our lungs, veins or the heart, or external machines such as ventilators. We employ both numerical simulations and experiments to analyse and optimise medical processes of various scales.

  • Nachhaltige Leistungselektronik mit innovativer Kühlung zur Steigerung der Recyclierbarkeit

    Project leader: , ,
    Term: 1. March 2024 - 28. February 2027
    Acronym: GreenInverter
    Funding source: Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWE)

    The "Green Inverter" project aims to set new standards in terms of recyclable, repairable and upgradeable
    hardware in the field of electrical energy conversion. At the same time, energy efficiency is to be
    significantly improved. The advantages will be demonstrated using the example of an inverter. The state of
    the art, which is based on the principle of individual component developments, is to be replaced by a new
    systemic approach.
    By means of a disruptively new approach for a combined cooling and insulation strategy, component
    temperatures are reduced and the use of new materials is made possible, whereby energy efficiency can
    be increased. A significant increase in recyclability, reduction of the product CO2 footprint and increase in
    product lifetime due to a more homogeneous temperature distribution in the converter will also be achieved.
    In addition, future, new business models are included in the considerations, which means that construction
    and design must be less strongly oriented towards manufacturing costs.

    For many centuries, scientific discovery relied on performing experiments and the subsequent deduction of new theoretical models. The advent of powerful computers, coupled with new and ever more efficient numerical algorithms, makes it possible to simulate complex systems with increasing realism, and to automatize even model discovery using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Computational Fluid DynFor many centuries, scientific discovery relied on performing experiments and the subsequent deduction of new theoretical models. The advent of powerful computers, coupled with new and ever more efficient numerical algorithms, makes it possible to simulate complex systems with increasing realism, and to automatize even model discovery using AI technologies. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is one of the most prominent areas that clearly requires, and even motivate exascale computing to be part of the engineering and academic workflows. Given the physical scaling and the availability of highly efficient simulation codes, CFD has the potential of reaching exascale performance, as one of the few application areas. This center will implement exascale ready workflows for addressing relevant challenges for future exascale systems, including those procured by EuroHPC. The significant improvement in energy efficiency will be facilitated through efficient exploitation of accelerated hardware architectures (GPUs) and novel adaptive mixed-precision calculations. Emphasis is furthermore given to new or improved algorithms that are needed to exploit upcoming exascale architectures. The efforts of the center are driven by a collection of five different lighthouse cases of physical and engineering interest, ranging from aeronautical to atmospheric flows, with the goal of reaching TRL 4 and even 5 for selected cases. All development is done in five European HPC codes which span the entire spectrum of CFD applications, including compressible, incompressible and multiphase flows.
