More powerful chips are enabling chips to process more data faster, but they’re also having a revolutionary impact on how that data can be used. Simulations that used to take days or weeks now can be completed in a matter of hours, and multi-physics simulations that were implausible to even consider are now very much in the realm of what is possible. Parviz Moin, professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University, talks about a future filled with “what if” scenarios, more grid points to capture tiny anomalies in wind or the behavior of jet engines, and much more detailed high-fidelity numerical simulations of waves, chemical reactions, and phase changes.
