University Simulates Rocket Plumes on 6.774 Trillion Cells

Xi'an Jiaotong University researchers executed the largest high-fidelity simulation of supersonic jet flow using the Sugon 8000 platform. The team modeled exhaust plumes for a 33-nozzle rocket engine array across 6.774 trillion grid cells. This computational breakthrough utilizes tens of thousands of domestic GPUs to analyze complex fluid dynamics for reusable rocket development.
