Overview:
In 2001, a team of engineers at Boeing Space and Communications in Huntington Beach, California, acquired a new AMD Athlon MP- based Linux Supercomputing cluster from Linux Networx to perform aerodynamic analyses for a new family of rockets, named Delta IV. The Linux Networx Supersystem is used to perform computational fluid dynamics simulations of the flow environments that the Delta IV rockets will encounter during flight. The computational simulations allow engineers to evaluate various flight environments and their effects on the vehicles prior to actually flying the vehicles, thereby reducing many of the uncertainties associated with each rocket's flight, and increasing the Delta IV's reliability.
