Streamline Computing has the pleasure of welcoming Jamil Appa to its Advisory Board. Jamil Appa is Group Leader for Technology and Engineering Services at BAE Systems. As an aeronautical engineer, he Initially worked on the Flite3D Computational Fluid Dynamics suite based on then state-of-the-art unstructured methods for Euler simulations. This was the main CFD suite that was used by the Airbus wing design team to perform the integrated design for the A380. This led to heading up the technical work on Solar, a UK Unstructured Navier Stokes CFD suite developed by BAE Systems, ARA, QinetiQ and Airbus. He is currently responsible for IT and HPC related research in the $36M CFMS research program and leads the Integration Technologies Group in the Mathematical Modeling Department at the ATC.
