Multi-phase, trans/supercritical and non-Newtonian fluid flows with heat and mass transfer are critical in enhancing the performance of energy production, propulsion and biomedical systems. Examples include: hydraulic turbomachines, ship propellers, CO2-neutral e-fuels and e-motor cooling systems, particleladen flows in inhalers and focused ultrasounds for drug delivery. What all these cases have in common is the high level of complexity which makes Direct Numerical Simulations impossible. State-of-the-art LES simulations rely on simplified assumptions but do not have yet the desired accuracy, while often require enormously expensive CPU resources. The aim of project (acronym 'SCALE') is to develop simulation methods and reduced-order models using physics-informed and data-driven Machine Learning and optimisation methods for such flow processes. These will be trained against 'ground-truth' databases that will be generated for the first time using both DNS and experimentally validated, industry-relevant LES and multi-fidelity RANS simulations. The new simulation tools will be applied for the first time to industrial problems and their ability to accelerate design times and improve accuracy will be jointly pursued and evaluated with the non-academic partners of SCALE. These are international corporations and market leaders in the aforementioned areas. Holistic training by experts from science and industry includes broad reviews on relevant scientific topics, modern high performance computing architectures suitable for performing such simulations, big data analytics as well as extensive support for mastering scientific tasks and transferring the knowledge acquired to industrial practice. SCALE will also deliver transferable soft skills training from a well-connected cohort of leaders with the ability to communicate across disciplines and within the general public. This coupling of research with industry makes SCALE a truly outstanding network for doctoral candidates to start their careers.

多相，反临界和非牛顿液流动与热量和传质的流动对于增强能源生产，推进和生物医学系统的性能至关重要。示例包括：液压涡轮机，船舶螺旋桨，二氧化碳中性电子燃料和电子机动冷却系统，吸入器中的特定流动和集中的超声以进行药物输送。所有这些情况的共同点是高水平的复杂性，这使得直接数值模拟不可能。最先进的LES模拟依赖于简化的假设，但还没有所需的准确性，而通常需要昂贵的CPU资源。项目的目的（首字母缩写尺度'）是使用物理信息和数据驱动的机器学习和对此类流程的机器学习和优化方法开发模拟方法和减少订单模型。这些将接受针对“地面”数据库的培训，这些数据库将首次使用DNS和实验验证的，与行业相关的LES和多保真性RANS模拟生成。新的仿真工具将首次应用于工业问题，并将与非学术的规模合作伙伴共同追求和评估其加速设计时间和提高准确性的能力。这些是上述地区的国际公司和市场领导者。科学和行业专家的整体培训包括有关相关科学主题的广泛评论，适合执行此类模拟的现代高性能计算体系结构，大数据分析以及对掌握科学任务的广泛支持并将获得的知识转移到工业实践中。规模还将从良好的领导者队列中提供可转移的软技能培训，并能够跨学科和公众进行交流。研究与行业的结合使规模成为博士候选人开始职业的真正杰出网络。
