HPC-based digital tools for modelling and simulation of hydrogen-based tecnologies for power generation and propulsion to hydrogen generation in electrolyzers
Entitat:
The Propulsion Technologies group at BSC leads cutting-edge research in advanced modeling and simulation techniques focused on understanding propulsion and power generation systems’ complexities. Our research aligned with European decarbonization strategies and spans physical modeling to data-driven methods, numerical techniques, and high-performance computing (HPC). Specifically, we develop a HPC-based tools for multi-physics problems designed to run efficiently in supercomputers, such as Marenostrum V, a pre-exascale EuroHPC supercomputer. These computational capabilities allow us to study complex engineering systems from aircraft engines to fuel cells and batteries, offering a comprehensive engineering workflow with in-situ data analytics and visualization.
Repte que resol
Our focus is hydrogen-based technologies, including innovative concepts for aircraft propulsion like dualfuel and hydrogen combustion concepts to hybridelectric propulsion Systems including solid oxide cells. Thus, we aim to expedite the energy transition by developing state-of-the-art software tailored for Exascale machines, accelerating the adoption of lowcarbon propulsion and power technologies.
Àmbit d'aplicació
Our numerical capabilities can be directly applied from manufacturing to real-time analysis of data. We offer a numerical multiphysics framework and digital tools to provide real-time insights into hydrogen production, storage and utilization.
