Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Distributed Cluster Processing for Two and Three-Dimensional Viscoelastic Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
A finite element study of two and three-dimensional incompressible viscoelastic flows in a planar lid-driven cavity and concentric rotating cylinders is presented. The hardware platforms consist of both homogeneous and heterogeneous clusters of workstations. A semi-implicit time-stepping TaylorGalerkin scheme is employed using the message passing mechanism provided by the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) libraries. DEC-alpha, Intel Solaris and AMD-K7(Athlon) Linux clusters are utilised. Parallel results are compared against single processor (sequentially) solutions, using the parallelism paradigm of domain decomposition. Communication is effectively masked and practically ideal, linear speed-up with the number of processors is realised. Copyright c © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Adaptive Dynamic Data Placement Algorithm for Hadoop in Heterogeneous Environments
Hadoop MapReduce framework is an important distributed processing model for large-scale data intensive applications. The current Hadoop and the existing Hadoop distributed file system’s rack-aware data placement strategy in MapReduce in the homogeneous Hadoop cluster assume that each node in a cluster has the same computing capacity and a same workload is assigned to each node. Default Hadoop d...
متن کاملDistributed Parallel Computation for Complex Rotational Flows of Non-Newtonian Fluids
Complex rotational flows of non-Newtonian fluids are simulated through finite element methods. The predictions have direct relevance to dough kneading, associated with the food industry. The context is taken as two-dimensional and one of stirring material within a cylindrical vessel. Three stirrer shapes are considered, placed in eccentric location with respect to the cylinder centre. The motio...
متن کاملThree-dimensional characteristic approach for incompressible thermo-flows and influence of artificial compressibility parameter
In this paper the characteristics of unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows with heat transfer are obtained along with artificial compressibility of Chorin. At first, compatibility equations and pseudo characteristics for three-dimensional flows are derived from five governing equations (continuity equation, Momentum equations in three directions, and energy equation) and then results ...
متن کاملParallel Computation of Two-Dimensional Rotational Flows of Viscoelastic Fluids in Cylindrical Vessels
The numerical simulation of two-dimensional incompressible complex flows of viscoelastic fluids is presented. The context is one, relevant to the food industry, of mixing within a cylindrical vessel, where stirrers are located on the lid of the vessel. Here, the motion is considered as driven by the rotation of the outer vessel wall, with various stirrer locations. With a single stirrer, both a...
متن کاملFinite Element Distributed Computation for Viscoelastic Rotating Flows
This paper is concerned with the parallel computation of incompressible viscoelastic rotating flows. Such flows arise in many industrial settings being particularly important in the food industries, for materials such as dough. Here, the material is driven by one or two stirrers, rotating about the centre of a cylindrical vessel, fixed to a lid. The stirrers may be positioned in eccentric arran...
