A Computing Cluster for Numerical Simulation

Abstract

The acquired computing cluster is used in the development of novel techniques for computational fluid dynamics and continuum mechanics, with a focus on large Eulerian or Lagrangian discretizations. Applications that receive particular emphasis include the following: (1) simulation of discontinuous flows resulting from the interaction of several immiscible or chemically reacting phases; (2) adaptive discretizations of large fluid volumes that can resolve turbulent flows and the effects of highly variable bottom topography; (3) coupling of Lagrangian deformable or rigid objects to Eulerian discretizations of fluid volumes; and (4) simulation of nonlinear and anisotropic elastic continua under extreme deformation, severe impact, and fracture scenarios. This report provides a summary of the applications and algorithms whose development was enabled by the acquisition of the equipment allowed by the grant. The author also outlines the impact of this parallel computing resource on their future research roadmap.
