چکیده

We present the FlowGrid system, that allows Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to be executed in Grid environments. Using this system, users can observe online the progress of their simulation by looking at intermediate results, that are visualized in the graphical user interface. Several Grid centers across Europe currently use and validate the system with their CFD computations and build a ‘CFD Virtual Organization’ to share their resources and balance their processing load. We first describe the overall FlowGrid architecture, highlight its special features and present the system along a typical job execution. The Grid infrastructure, i.e. FlowServe, is presented in detail, a description of the accounting system is given and experiences with the FlowGrid testbed are provided. Finally, we provide evidence that the results can be used as a generic CFD Grid service. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Helicopter Rotor Airloads Prediction Using CFD and Flight Test Measurement in Hover Flight

An implicit unsteady upwind solver including a mesh motion approach was applied to simulate a helicopter including body, main rotor and tail rotor in hover flight. The discretization was based on a second order finite volume approach with fluxes given by the Roeand#39;s scheme. Discretization of Geometric Conservation Laws (GCL) was devised in such a way that the three-dimensional flows on arbi...

Performance enhancement strategies for multi-block overset grid CFD applications

The overset grid methodology has significantly reduced time-to-solution of highfidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations about complex aerospace configurations. The solution process resolves the geometrical complexity of the problem domain by using separately generated but overlapping structured discretization grids that periodically exchange information through interpolation. How...

Parallel String Matching Algorithm Using Grid

Grid computing provides solutions for various complex problems. Implementing computing intensive applications such as string matching problem on grid is inevitable. In this paper we present a new method for exact string matching based on grid computing. The function of the grid is to parallelize the string matching problem using grid MPI parallel programming method or loosely coupled parallel s...
