One article left Professor Elinor scratching his head and scratching his head.

He has basically determined that if the unstructured overlapping grid technology mentioned in the paper is applied to several ongoing projects at hand, it can greatly improve computational efficiency.

But the content that ends abruptly seems like the author is deliberately tempting his colleagues.

He was clearly standing in front of the door to the new world.

but……

No key!

"call--"

After taking several deep breaths, Elinor calmed down a little bit from his dissatisfied mood.

As a senior professor with a high level of research, he doesn't have to wait for others to put things into his mouth.

There is still some subjective initiative.

Eleanor estimates that an additional toolkit or new program may be needed to accommodate this never-before-seen grid technology.

Although the professor himself is not an expert in software programming, he still has the necessary vision.

Moreover, he has been immersed in the aviation field for many years and has absolutely no shortage of contacts, especially in Europe.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Elinor forwarded the paper to another email address and attached some of his own thoughts at the end.

After doing this, he leaned back in his chair and began to think about what review comments he should give.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I really didn’t find any comments that I could write.

The author's theoretical foundation is quite profound, and the overall structure and reasoning logic of the paper are very smooth. He just read it almost in one go.

If I have to say, there is room for improvement in details such as article writing and word usage.

But Professor Elinor also has dignity.

Such an epoch-making article would be an insult to the author, the journal, and even himself if he were to offer only some dispensable, literary opinions!

Some things, when written by ordinary authors, are called grammatical errors, but when written by expert authors, they can only be called personal characteristics.

Only worthless academic garbage will make reviewers focus on this kind of place.

On the other hand, all he could think about now was how this grid technique could be used to solve NS equations, or even numerical solutions to Euler's equations.

However, according to the title and abstract of this paper, the author did not originally say that I wanted to study this part.

CMAME is not a high-end journal with an extremely high impact factor. If you can make a breakthrough in a certain direction related to numerical calculation, it is enough for publication.

What's more, it is a result that may usher in a new era of computational physics.

It makes absolutely no sense to ask for additional content because of this.

He, Roger Elinor, is also a well-known figure in the field, and he has a lot of face.

"Ugh……"

The professor sighed:

"Although I really don't want to submit a manuscript to you like this, but..."

"This article is really perfect..."

While talking to himself, he sat up straight again, put his hands on the keyboard, and began to write review comments.

Generally speaking, Professor Elinor has several sets of standard templates for articles on different situations, which only require slight modifications.

But this time, he decided to write a separate one as a sign of respect.

……

Before I could finish writing the review comments, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Elinor frowned, but had no choice but to put down what she was doing temporarily and pick up the phone receiver:

"Hello Roger Elinor, Cranfield University."

"Roger, it's me, Fernando."

A burst of English with a Spanish accent came from the other side of the phone, which made his eyes light up.

The other party was Fernando Lorenzo, whom he had just contacted via email.

As the past head of Dassault Software, he was almost naturally the first person Elinor just thought of:

"Fernandinho, what a coincidence, I just sent you an email ten minutes ago. If you have time..."

Under normal circumstances, it would take several hours to read such an article, so Elinor subconsciously thought that this phone call was just a coincidence.

But halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Lorenzo over there:

"I've seen your email, so I called you."

"Have you finished reading it? So quickly?"

"Of course I didn't start reading the email after you sent it."

Lorenzo sounded a little helpless:

"This paper was also sent to me for review, so I have been reading it this morning. I just received your email and called you back."

This time Elinor also reacted.

Considering the content level of this article, there are only a few experts who are qualified to serve as reviewers.

Naturally among them is Lorenzo, who was once a senior engineer in Dassault Software Department.

"So what do you think of the ideas in my email?"

Elinor thought for a moment and then immediately got to the point:

"If a complete set of numerical calculation technology can be developed based on this grid generation algorithm, it will have a decisive impact on the entire field!"

As a technician, he is certainly ambitious.

Although he is now considered successful in the UK, Elinor is still just a senior engineer.

There is still a long way to go before establishing a sect or at least leaving a mark in the industry.

However, the response on the other end of the phone poured cold water on him:

"Roger, this isn't that easy."

"This new grid removes the structural restrictions of grid nodes and can dynamically adjust the boundaries according to model changes. It looks really beautiful."

At this point, Lorenzo changed the subject:

“But you also have to consider that when using this algorithm to assemble an overlapping grid system, you need to find the host unit of each grid node in other sub-grids, so the amount of calculation required for the host unit search will be very huge. of."

"This does not mention the cumbersome subsequent numerical calculation process itself because there is no topological relationship between grid units and grid nodes. In short... this is not a problem that can be completely solved in a short time."

Although Lorenzo's attitude was quite authoritative, Elinor was still a little unwilling:

"Given the current situation, how long do you think it will take to implement this method?"

The problem of EJ200 is more troublesome. The easiest way is of course to directly strengthen the structure, but that will cause the performance of the entire engine to be terrible and will definitely not be accepted.

And if you want a more clever processing method, with the current design method, you will need a lot of bench testing and even flight testing.

But according to Elinor's understanding of the so-called "European joint project", if he really delays in making a decision on core components such as the engine, then the EF2000 will be in ruins in a few years.

So the best way is to rely on heap numerical calculations to reduce test time.

He needs this technology.

"For me, this is almost equivalent to starting from scratch, and past experience is of little reference value."

After a period of reflection, Lorenzo finally spoke:

"Conservatively estimated, it may take 2-3 years to develop a first version of the software that is roughly usable. However, the algorithm is advancing too fast now, and it is difficult to guarantee what new situations we will face by then..."

Although it is put more euphemistically, the meaning is...

No.

"Actually, I've always had some doubts."

After a brief pause, Lorenzo continued in a confusing tone:

“Why don’t you try to contact the author of this article himself?”
