Workshop Advancing CFD Simulations with Tensor Networks

Elie Mounzer and Lukas Groß from DFKI in Bremen recently came to the Munich Institute of Integrated Materials, Energy, and Process Engineering (MEP) to lead a workshop on tensor networks. This mathematical approach breaks down complex, multidimensional data into interlinked tensors—a concept originally developed for quantum many-body systems. MEP attendees examined how tensor networks can enhance computational fluid dynamics simulations by managing high-dimensional data more effectively. The event offered a balanced mix of theory and hands-on practice, providing a comprehensive introduction to both the fundamentals and practical applications of these techniques. Active discussions and interactive exercises enriched the session, reflecting a successful exchange of ideas between Bremen and Munich.
