Bell 222 Helicopter in FluidX3D CFD - 10 Billion Cells, 71TB vizualized - 6.4 hours on 8x MI200 GPUs

I’ve always wanted to do a helicopter! 🖖😎🚁 Here it is, a Bell 222 in #CFD. With a massive 10 billion cells resolution, 71 TeraByte data visualized. Just for fun, because I can! Enjoy this #SimulationFriday gem! 🖖😋 I ran this on 8x AMD Instinct #MI200 #GPU​s. 3016×3616×905 cells, 75k time steps. Runtime was a mere 6 hours and 23 minutes for both simulation and rendering. In real time, this is seconds, or 1.5 revolutions of the main rotor at 348 RPM. You can try this software too, it’s called #FluidX3D, and it’s on #GitHub: Timestamps: 0:00 side 0:10 rotor 0:20 front 0:30 back 0:40 top 0:50 follow The Bell 222 CAD model is from @thingiverse and was edited with Microsoft 3D Builder: :1625155/files Thanks to Jülich Supercomputing Centre JURECA-DC Hardware Evaluation Platform for providing me access to the MI200 GPU node!
