Transformational HPC System based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays tailored for Simulations and Machine Learning of Transonic Laminar-Turbulent Transition
Abstract
The University of Arizona (UArizona) has recently acquired the Orbital ATK GASL Supersonic Aerodynamic Facility. The facility has been renamed the Arizona Supersonic Wind Tunnel (ASWT). This facility is a blowdown to atmosphere supersonic wind tunnel with a 15in x 15in x 50in test section. The facility currently operates at Mach 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4. Upon installation in late 2020, it will be the largest University operated facility of this type in the U.S. A long-term goal is to extend the operational envelope to subsonic, transonic and hypersonic (Mach 5) conditions making it a polysonic facility. The proposal targets the acquisition of a modular and expandable control system for precise operation throughout the subsonic, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic regimes. The control system will be based on National Instruments (NI) LabView architecture and designed in a way that is compatible with a variety of existing and future scientific instruments.
