Parallel Implementation of Lattice Boltzmann Flow Simulation in Fortran-DVM Language

摘要

During the last twenty years the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been developed as an alternative approach for modeling of fluid dynamics. A parallel implementation of the LBM for 3D fluid dynamics simulations using the Fortran-DVM language is presented. The LBM is parallelized by using spatial decomposition and implemented on a distributed memory cluster MVS-100K. The test problem has been solved for different number of processors (from 1 to 1024). Pictures of flows are compared visually with the similar pictures published in the literature.
