Implementing Cfd (computational Fluid Dynamics) in Opencl for Building Simulation

چکیده
Though researchers in computer graphics have started to use the GPGPU (General Purposed Graphics Processing Unit) method to speed up their procedural programs, these techniques are seldom used in the building simulation field. It is possible to apply the GPGPU method to many simulation scenarios (i.e. human evacuation, shadow simulation) to speed up performance. In this paper, CFD is used as an example to introduce how the GPGPU method will provide benefits to building simulation. CFD is widely used for building performance analysis. However CFD is computationally expansive so large scale problems often take a long time to perform in a simulation.

Dense Medium Cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. It is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in DMCs complex. In this article the flow pattern simulation of DMC is performed with computational fluid dynamics and Fluent...

متن کاملComputational Fluid Dynamics and Gpus
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are aimed to reconstruct the reality of fluid motion and behaviour as accurately as possible, to better understand the natural phenomena under specified conditions. Ideally, computational models would need to cover different scales and geometric configurations, and the classic CFD solvers most often require long computational times to satisfy the c...
متن کاملModeling Airflow in Urban Form against Sand Accumulation: a Case of Saltation in the Town of Timimoun in Southern Algeria
In our present research, we focus on the modeling of airflow related to natural disasters, such assand accumulation, with urban form studies. The objective is to find which urban form can promote sand passing andreduce as much as possible stagnation of sand in the building area (streets, alleys, etc.). The urban form design will bediscussed through the simulation of airflow by using Computation...
