Jet engines are built to terrifyingly tight tolerances, yet the latest simulations on the world’s first exascale supercomputer suggest their biggest weakness may be measured in micrometers.

Researchers using the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified aerothermal flaws in jet engine turbine blades that conventional simulation methods could not detect. The ...

A look at part of the Frontier supercomputer - Hewlett Packard Enterprise Jet engine technology is among some of the most advanced means of propulsion in the skies today. From commercial airlines to ...
