Abstract:
Parallel efficiency and overall simulation turn-around time continues to be a determining factor behind scientific and engineering decisions to develop CFD models at higher fidelity. While the ROI in recent years of CFD verses physical experimentation has been remarkable, the maturity of parallel CFD solvers and availability of inexpensive scalable HPC clusters has not been enough to advance most CFD practice beyond steady state modeling. Fluids are inherently unsteady, yet to model such complexity with a URANS, DES, LES or other advanced approach at a practical HPC scale for industry, requires parallel efficiency of both solvers and I/O. This BOF will examine the current state of parallel CFD for HPC cluster environments at industry-scale. BOF panel members will comprise parallel CFD experts from commercial CFD software developers ANSYS and CD-adapco, and HPC practitioners from industry who deploy both commercial and research-developed CFD application software.
