Lenovo announced it has teamed up with AT&T Williams Formula One team to provide a supercomputer to drive the racing team’s wind tunnel simulator.
The supercomputer will simulate airflow around a virtual model of a three-dimensional, on-track racing car so engineers can examine aerodynamic variables, such as surface geometry, wheel turbulence and track surface.
This process will help predict how small changes in component shape and placement can affect drag and downforce, with resulting impacts on speed and handling.
According to Lenovo, the supercomputer is four times more powerful than the team’s previous solution and will enable the team to speed up the process of aerodynamic simulation by approximately 75 percent.
