Abstract

Current and emerging trends in High Performance Computing (HPC) are providing transformational capabilities for simulation-based research and development and simulation-based design. Numerous efforts are underway to provide exascale systems in the next decades. HPC architectures are rapidly evolving and the tools and methods need to keep pace with both the scale and the evolving hardware architecture. Emerging HPC capabilities provide potential for simulation of increasingly complex, multi-scale and multi- disciplinary applications for discovery, design and evaluation of aerospace systems. The computational mesh, along with the geometry that it represents, has a considerable impact on the quality, stability, and amount of resources required to complete numerical simulations. Extreme-scale environments require increased levels of process automation and reliability not currently available in state-of-the-art mesh generation tools. These shortcomings make geometry modeling and mesh generation a pacing bottleneck for the future. The paper will summarize the panel discussion that was held at AIAA’s 2015 SciTech Conference in which the path for geometry and mesh generation as a supporting element of the NASA CFD 2030 Vision was discussed.
