High-Performance Computing at TFE

High-performance computing (HPC) is essential for our research in fluid mechanics, thermal science, granular matter and multiphysics applications. At TFE we combine local clusters, faculty-level investments, and the central University of Twente HPC infrastructure. Together, these resources give our researchers the flexibility to move seamlessly from software development to prototyping to full-scale HPC runs.

Computational infrastructure

Central UT HPC cluster

All ET researchers have access to the university’s HPC cluster, which provides:

New ET compute nodes (2025)

To extend these facilities, ET is adding new compute nodes optimised for MPI scaling:

Local TFE clusters
TFE also maintains several departmental clusters for development and medium-scale simulations:

Software

TFE has a strong focus on open-source software development, ensuring that methods and tools are transparent, reproducible and widely available.
