چکیده

The implementation of a 2D Euler solver on graphics hardware is described. The graphics processing unit is highly parallelised and uses a programming model that is well suited to flow computation. Results for a transonic turbine cascade test-case are presented. For large grids (10 nodes) a 40 times speed-up compared to a Fortran implementation on a contemporary CPU is observed.

Acceleration of a 3D Euler Solver Using Commodity Graphics Hardware

The porting of twoand three-dimensional Euler solvers from a conventional CPU implementation to the novel target platform of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is described. The motivation for such an effort is the impressive performance that GPUs offer: typically 10 times more floating point operations per second than a modern CPU, with over 100 processing cores and all at a very modest financ...

Rapid Aerodynamic Performance Prediction on a Cluster of Graphics Processing Units

Researchers have recently used the new programmable capabilities of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to increase the performance of scientific codes. We investigate the use of a cluster of GPUs for large-scale CFD problems and show order-of-magnitude increases in performance and performance-to-price ratio. We implement two separate compressible flow solvers. First, we develop a CUDA-based sol...

Aerodynamic Design Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)

An efficient formulation for the robust shape optimization of aerodynamic objects is introduced in this paper. The formulation has three essential features. First, an Euler solver based on a second-order Godunov scheme is used for the flow calculations. Second, a genetic algorithm with binary number encoding is implemented for the optimization procedure. The third ingredient of the procedure is...

Accelerating Euler Equations Numerical Solver on Graphics Processing Units

Finite volume numerical methods have been widely studied, implemented and parallelized on multiprocessor systems or on clusters. Modern graphics processing units (GPU) provide architectures and new programing models that enable to harness their large processing power and to design computational fluid dynamics simulations at both high performance and low cost. We report on solving the 2D compres...
