The FUN3D code is used to model how air flows around simulated aircraft in a supercomputer.
The software was developed in the 1980s and is written in an older computer programming language called Fortran.



NASA is running a competition to speed up the code. $55k payout

One of my college projects was to write a Fortran program to simulate airflow through a jet engine. (fluid dynamics)

If only I had kept up on an old language in a career I had no interest in (programming)

hehe

Ah, yes. The "IF Only" s.

Well, get to work. You might do it.

Get onto it, Heady. You never know how quickly everything you think you've forgotten comes back to mind when there are 55 big ones on the table.

Good luck.
