Vortex Methods for Massively Parallel Computer Architectures

摘要

We present Vortex Methods implemented in massively parallel computer architectures for the Direct. Numerical Simulations of high Reynolds numbers flows. Periodic and non-periodic domains are considered leading to unprecedented simulations using billions of particles. We discuss the implementation performance of the method up to 16k IBM BG/L nodes and the evolutionary optimization of long wavelength instabilities in aircraft wakes.
