Advanced Software Suite for Multidisciplinary Computation
Abstract
The accomplishments of Phase I SBIR project on the development of a proposed high order multidisciplinary software suite are presented in this report. Several existing, but not necessarily high-order, upgradable target codes were first identified, with a synopsis of the numerical characteristics of the codes. The selection of the base code for the development of the proposed product was based on the type of numerical method (finite element/volume, finite difference), the initial capabilities of the codes, gird topology (structured/unstructured), and the structure of the code, vis-a'-vis the incorporation of chimera/overset capabilities. The numerical kernels in the target codes were identified and a generalized flux function that supports the targeted applications was developed. A preliminary version of an elegant and intuitive graphics user interface (Gut) was also developed. To demonstrate feasibility of the proposed concept, a preliminary version of the multidisciplinary software suite was developed and tested for computational efficiency and accuracy against codes that are dedicated to magnetogasdynamics and aeroacoustics.
