Executing and observing CFD applications on the Grid

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.

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...
متن کاملPerformance optimizations for scalable CFD applications on hybrid CPU+MIC heterogeneous computing system with millions of cores
For computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications with a large number of grid points/cells, parallel computing is a common efficient strategy to reduce the computational time. How to achieve the best performance in the modern supercomputer system, especially with heterogeneous computing resources such as hybrid CPU+GPU, or a CPU + Intel Xeon Phi (MIC) co-processors, is still a great challenge...
