Parallel Computation of Viscous Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study we describe parallel iterative and direct solution strategies for viscous flow computation using domain decomposition. Both stream function vorticity and primitive variable formulations are considered. The basic ideas associated with the element-by-element approach and subdomain approach can also be extended to other cell or control-volume approximate formulations. Numerical results and parallel performance studies are presented for computations with parallel sparse solution based on p − multilevel schemes and multiple front elimination schemes.

External and Internal Incompressible Viscous Flows Computation using Taylor Series Expansion and Least Square based Lattice Boltzmann Method
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...
متن کاملA parallel viscous flow solver on multi-block overset grids
A multi-block overset grid method is presented to accurately simulate viscous flows around complex configurations. A combination of multi-block and overlapping grids is used to discretize the flow domain. A hierarchical grid system with layers of grids of varying resolution is developed to ensure inter-grid connectivity within a framework suitable for multi-grid and parallel computations. At ea...

In order to investigate continuous vortex dynamics based on a Lagrangian-like formulation, we develop a theoretical framework and a numerical method for computation of the evolution of a vortex-surface field (VSF) in viscous incompressible flows with simple topology and geometry. Equations describing the continuous, timewise evolution of a VSF from an existing VSF at an initial time are first r...

This paper presents 2-D finite volume method for computation of viscous drag based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Computations are performed on bare submarine hull DREA and six axisymmetric bodies of revolution with a number of length-diameter (L/D) ratios ranging from 4 to 10. Both structured and unstructured grids are used to discretize the domain around the bodies. Diff...

This paper presents an e cient parallel multigrid solver for speeding up the computation of a 3-D model that treats the ow of a viscous uid over a at plate. The main interest of this simulation lies in exhibiting some basic di culties that prevent optimal multigrid e ciencies from being achieved. As the computing platform, we have used Coral, a Beowulf-class system based on Intel Pentium proces...
