Summary
Gas flow is considered inside a free form closed volume with a boundary made of triangles or rectangles in two and three-dimensional Cartesian space. For numerical solution of QGD and RGD equation systems [2] the unstructured locally-condensing meshes are applied. The number of nodes in the meshes used vary from 104 to 106.
The grid generator is a software package which contains some sets of instruments. They allow a user to solve a specified problem from beginning (designing a problem's geometry, setting boundary conditions) to end (viewing end results using the visualization instrument provided). These instruments are oriented towards the use of parallel computing algorithms and modern multiprocessor systems. The focus of this paper is on the software design of the suite with illustrating examples of applications [3]. For numerical solution of the QGD equations system we used tetrahedral meshes. Applying the control volume method, the explicit numerical scheme was designed. Control volumes are built around each node of a mesh and the union of all such control volumes is equal to the total computational domain [4]. The parallel code efficiency has been tested using a wide range of problems on different scale computational clusters from tens of nodes to high performance systems consisting of several thousand nodes.
