SOLUTION AND ANALYSIS OF CFD APPLICATIONS BY USING GRID INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

The paper describes solution and analysis of complex computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications by using grid infrastructure. Powerful and flexible computing environment including computing resources, data storage, simulation software, visualization e-service and graphical job monitoring tool is developed and employed for solution of CFD problems. Efficiency of parallel computations is evaluated by performing a benchmark based on convective pollution transport. Challenging dam break flow simulation including highly non-linear breaking waves requires all advanced features of modern BalticGrid infrastructure. The numerical results are validated by quantitative comparison with the experimental measurements.
