Massively-Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

The effort has had several components since it was initiated in Oct of 1989; all of these had as their objective the assistance of Dr. Joseph Shang at WRDC in the redirection of his effort toward use of massively-parallel architectures. The major objective was to gain algorithm experience in conversion of two Air Force production CFD codes to a general format applicable to a variety of commercial message-passing architectures. Earlier, an explicit N-S 3D code from WRDC had been converted to the NCUBE. This was used as a model for parallelized production code developed at WRDC under DARPA sponsorship. This effort was completed with the conversion of a serial full 3D Navier-Stokes Beam- Warming CFD code to a 1024-node scalar NCUBE hypercube at SANDIA (Albuquerque).
