Using HPC for Computational Fluid Dynamics

Preface

This work is an effort to produce a text that is helpful for those who are becoming engineers, and for postgraduate students and information technology (IT) professionals. Without doubt, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an emerging technology advancing with the arrival of modern supercomputers. Therefore, knowledge of CFD alone is not sufficient to compete with ongoing challenges in this field. Many engineers are handicapped when dealing with IT matters and they wait a long time for an IT expert to solve problems. Therefore, to a certain extent, knowledge of High-Performance Computing (HPC) is mandatory for engineers. From a different perspective, when IT professionals are dealing with CFD problems, they need to know the basics of ...
