Load Balancing for Parallel Multiphase Flow Simulation

Dynamic load balancing for parallel traffic simulation

In this paper, we describe implementation of the Parallel Traffic Simulator which applies parallel algorithms and computer graphics in the field of traffic simulation. It simulates traffic behaviour at the individual vehicle level. Parallel environment used consists of a set of workstations connected in a network. Networked workstations make up a loosely coupled parallel computer architecture w...

Parallel Simulation of Multiphase/Multicomponent Flow Models

The simulation of flow in porous media is a computationally demanding task. Thermodynamical equilibrium calculations and complex, heterogeneous geological structures normally gives a multiphysics/multidomain problem to solve. Thus, efficient solution methods are needed. The research simulator Athena is a 3D, multiphase, multicomponent, porous media flow simulator. A parallel version of the simu...

Massively parallel direct simulation of multiphase flow

Our understanding of multiphase physics and the associated predictive capability for multiphase systems are severely limited by current continuum modeling methods and experimental approaches. This research will deliver an unprecedented modeling capability to directly simulate three-dimensional multiphase systems at the particle-scale. The model solves the fully coupled equations of motion gover...

A Load Balancing Technique for Multiphase Computations

Parallel computations comprised of multiple, tightly interwoven phases of computation may require a different approach to dynamic load balancing than single-phase computations. This paper presents a load sharing method based on the view of load as a vector, rather than as a scalar. This approach allows multiphase computations to achieve higher efficiency on large-scale multicomputers than possi...
