Simulating SpaceX's Raptor Engine on GPUs

insideHPC Report · Talk · YouTube title: GPUs to Mars: Full-Scale Simulation of SpaceX's Mars Rocket Engine

Why it's here

HN points to it as evidence of SpaceX's serious simulation capability and as a showcase of GPU compute for CFD.

What it covers

SpaceX engineers present at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference on a multi-physics code that simulates the full-scale Raptor methane engine. It covers GPU-based turbulent combustion modeling with adaptive grids and wavelet compression.
