Abstract:
Mathematical modeling of physical and chemical processes has always been an important activity in science and engineering. Scientists and engineers, however, cannot understand all the details of the mathematical models, numerical algorithms, parallel computing technologies, and parallel supercomputer architectures. This fact motivates the development of black-box software.
CFD software has become an essential modeling tool to study and validate flow problems in engineered systems. Many computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs for CFD are available with different capabilities, making it difficult to select the best program for a specific application. In fact, modern codes (Fluent, Star-CCM+, COMSOL’s CFD Module, Altair’s AcuSolve and others) are collections of common building blocks and diagnostic tools helping users to develop their own application without having to start from scratch. Users will, therefore, need a basic knowledge of numerical methods.
The aim of this activity is to relate our experience in the development of a robust (the lowest number of problem-dependent components), efficient (close-to-optimal algorithmic complexity), and parallel (faster than the fastest sequential algorithm) computational technique for a black-box (de)coupled solution of multidimensional nonlinear (initial-)boundary value problems.
The presented results are of an applied nature and intended for specialists in the field of computational mathematics, mathematical modeling, and for software developers engaged in the simulation of physical and chemical processes for aircraft and space technologies and for power, chemical, and other branches of engineering.
