TitleGeometry based pre- and post-processing for fluid dynamics simulations using parallel computers
Year2000
AbstractThe preprocessing stage of finite element analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations is becoming increasingly important as the desire for more general boundary conditions, as well as applications to parallel computers increases. The set up of general boundary conditions and communication structures for parallel computations should be accomplished during the preprocessing phase of the analysis, if possible, to ensure efficient computations for large scale problems in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This paper introduces a genral methodology for geometry based boundary condition application which is incorporated within a graphical user interface (GUI).
