Fast computing of velocity field for flows in industrial burners and pumps
This work addresses the need for faster flow simulations in industrial applications like burners and pumps, but the approach appears incremental.
The paper presents a technique for fast numerical computation of Navier-Stokes solutions for industrial flows by converting PDEs into ODEs based on domain geometry and solving them in parallel. Results from simulations on parallel hardware are shown.
In this work we present a technique of fast numerical computation for solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in the case of flows of industrial interest. At first the partial differential equations are translated into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the geometrical shape of the domain where the flow is developing, then these ODEs are numerically resolved using a set of computations distributed among the available processors. We present some results from simulations on a parallel hardware architecture using native multithreads software and simulating a shared-memory or a distributed-memory environment.
