Scania

Scania  is a leading global supplier of transport equipment, such as buses and trucks, and also produces engines for industrial and marine applications. Scania employs about 44,000 people in more than 100 countries with their research and development activities being concentrated in Sweden.

Scania and the PDC Center for High Performance Computing started a formal research collaboration in 2010 which has primarily focused on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. PowerFLOW, OpenFOAM and STAR-CCM+ have been the main applications employed for this work.

As part of the collaboration, Scania has made significant funding contributions to the last two generations of PDCs main computational systems and is also making good use of PDCs advanced application assistance, primarily within the CFD area.

The partnership between Scania and PDC, which has been firmly established for many years, is still expanding with additional services, applications and research fields being considered.
