在迈向NetZero航空的过程中，电力和混合动力电力推进是一个关键的发展。该项目的主要目标是开发新的数值和计算工具，用于分析新的电力推进概念的设计。特别是，该项目旨在模拟高功率密度电机设计的电磁和热机械效应。该项目将需要使用开放源码的有限元软件来模拟这种影响，并旨在通过使用高性能并行计算来确保高度复杂的工程设计的可扩展性。目前，知识空白是开发用于电磁和热力耦合的新算法和并行计算的集成。

Electric and hybrid electric propulsion is a critical development in the drive towards netzero aviation. The key objective of the project is to develop new numerical and computational tools for analysing designing of novel electric propulsion concepts. In particular the project aims to model the electromagnetic and thermomechanical effects of the designs of the high power density electric motors. The project will entail using open source software packages of the Finite element method to model such effects and aim to ensure scalability through the use of high performance parallel computing for highly complicated engineering design.Currently, the gaps in knowledge are the development of novel algorithms for the electromagnetic and thermomechanical coupling and the integration of parallel computing.
