Collaborative and Interactive CFD Simulation using High Performance Computers

چکیده
This paper presents a prototype application of a collaborative computational steering system for interactive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. One or more visualization clients allow the user to interact with the concurrently running CFD simulation. To provide interactivity even for high resolution runs the parallel Lattice Boltzmann-based simulation kernel is performed on a high performance computer (HPC), e.g. the Hitachi SR8000 of the LRZ (Leibniz Computing Center) Munich. This kind of online simulation tool enables engineers to investigate and discuss several case studies interactively to obtain an intuitive understanding of detailed calculations.

Currenlty, FE meshes form the basic representation for the analysis and visualization of 3D FE analysis results. In this case, the triangulations used for visualization purposes are colored in accordance with the values issued from the resolution phase. As FE models get larger (hundreds of thousands and over), their 3D visualization become more and more difficult on high performance graphic wor...
