Summary
In the computation of aerodynamic problems, both precision and efficiency should meet
higher requirements because of the large aerodynamic mesh, which often reaches the range
of ten million. For this issue, a parallel computing solver of Euler and Navier-Stokes equations
based on hybrid mesh is developed. Hybrid mesh is easier to be generated on complex
shape when compared with structured meshes and also relatively suitable for the simulation
of boundary layer flow in contrast with unstructured meshes, therefore being more fit for engineering
applications. For parallel computing, the Pmetis code from the University of Minnesota
is used for mesh division and dyeing layered communication technology based on MPI
is used for information delivery, so as to improve communication efficiency and reduce communication
congestion. In addition, implicit time-marching is optimized for better parallel
computing. This above-mentioned solver is applied for steady and unsteady aerodynamic
problems for standard EMU in the conditions of open line and cross wind. Specifically, nodecentered
second-order discrete scheme and k-! turbulence model are used in the computation,
while moving wall boundary condition is considered to simulate ground effect. Compared
with experiments, the results of commercial software and CFD solver match well with the
measured values. Furthermore, CFD solver behaves better on efficiency while the precision is
not worse. The parallel implementation efficiency almost reach over 90% for CPUs from 2 to
256.
