Accelerate Next-Generation CFD with Volcano ScaLES on Corvid HPC
Delivering Secure, Bare-Metal GPU Infrastructure for Volcano Platforms' Breakthrough Physics-Based CFD Technology.
Corvid HPC Was Built by Engineers Like You With Real World Design & Simulation Experience
Whether you are solving for complex turbofan aeroacoustics, simulating launch environments for space vehicles, or generating synthetic aerodynamic data for AI, we help you take full advantage of Volcano ScaLES—without local hardware limitations or IT bottlenecks.
Inspired by 35 years of cutting-edge research at NASA, Volcano ScaLES delivers next-generation, physics-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD). By combining Volcano's fully automated Cartesian meshing (Immersed Boundary Method) and GPU-native architecture with Corvid HPC’s secure, bare-metal compute resources, engineers can achieve highly predictive, cost-effective simulations at an unprecedented scale.
Our HPC platform was built by engineers, for engineers. We don't just host the software—we support the teams using it. From defense applications to automotive aerodynamics, Corvid HPC helps you move faster, simulate more, and run high-fidelity Wall-Modeled Large Eddy Simulations (WMLES) with ease.

Volcano Platforms ScaLES Benchmark
Supersonic External Aerodynamics Simulation
This case is a supersonic external aerodynamics simulation of a generic 4-fin missile.
Volcano ScaLES features a compact memory footprint compared to traditional CFD solvers, delivering higher resolutions for the same amount of vRAM. Remarkably, the benchmark graph reveals that the L40S and B6000 outpace the H200 on identical meshes. By bypassing traditional memory bandwidth bottlenecks, ScaLES shifts performance reliance directly to FP32 compute throughput—where the L40S and B6000 excel.
| GPU | Cards per node | vRAM | FP32 Tflops (peak) | Time | Cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L40S | 2 | 96GB | 183.2 Tflops | 5H 23M | 110 Million |
| H200 | 2 | 282GB | 134 Tflops | 6H 26M | 110 Million |
| B6000 / RTX 6000 Pro | 2 | 192GB | 240 Tflops | 4H 23M | 110 Million |
