A Parallel Framework for Unstructured Grid Solvers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work is the parallel solution of large two and three dimensional CFD problems using unstructured grids. A general framework has been formulated to enable both parallel and sequential execution of a single source FORTRAN code. This is achieved via the straightforward insertion of OPlus (Oxford Parallel Library for Unstructured Solvers) sub-routine calls. Hence, the user's code can be developed, debugged and maintained on a sequential machine and executed in parallel when required. The generality is achieved through the speciication by the programmer of certain key aspects of the data structure used in the computation. However, the programmer need not be aware of the underlying details of the parallel execution of the application and therefore the development of the parallel application is greatly simpliied.

Further Extension and Validation Of A Parallel Unstructured Mesh Adaptation Package
A parallel tetrahedral mesh adaptation code is expanded to treat general, mixed-element unstructured meshes comprised of any combination of basic element types. Emphasis is placed on developing conforming mesh modification methods that are solver-independent. Specific developments include the implementation of a treatment for viscous, high aspect ratio near wall tetrahedra, and cell subdivision...
متن کاملParallel Multigrid Solvers for 3D Unstructured Finite Element Problems in Large Deformation Elasticity and Plasticity
Multigrid is a popular solution method for the set of linear algebraic equations that arise from PDEs discretized with the nite element method. The application of multigrid to unstructured grid problems, however, is not well developed. We discuss a method, that uses many of the same techniques as the nite element method itself, to apply standard multigrid algorithms to unstructured nite element...
متن کاملDynamic load-balancing for PDE solvers on adaptive unstructured meshes
Modern PDE solvers written for time-dependent problems increasingly employ adaptive unstructured meshes (see Flaherty et al. [4]) in order to both increase e ciency and control the numerical error. If a distributed memory parallel computer is to be used, there arises the signi cant problem of dividing up the domain equally amongst the processors whilst minimising the intersubdomain dependencies...

This paper describes a computational infrastructure that supports Chimera-based interfacing of different CFD solvers a body-fitted unstructured grid solver with a blockstructured adaptive cartesian grid solver to perform time-dependent adaptive movingbody CFD calculations of external aerodynamics. The goal of this infrastructure is to facilitate the use of different solvers in different parts o...
