Massively parallel computing for the simulation of unsteady flows in turbomachinery
Abstract
This paper deals with evaluating the capabilities of the massively parallel Connection Machine CM2 in predicting unsteady flows in turbomachines. The implementation on the CM2 of an implicit, time-accurate, zonal algorithm for the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions is described. Programming issues and modifications made to the original sequential algorithm to improve performance on the CM2 are briefly discussed. Performance is compared to a functionally equivalent code for the Cray YMP.
