FLOW-3D/MP Brochure

VERSION 5.0Speed up your CFD simulations with FLOW-3D/MP 5.0A d v a n t a g e s• Developed and optimized for the latest multi-core architecture• Physical models fully synced with FLOW-3D v10.1• Parallelization based on the Hybrid MPI-OpenMP methodology• Automatic Decomposition Tool allows directional decomposition• True Domain Decomposition• Full compatibility with FLOW-3D v10.1 GUI for post-processing resultsf low3d.com/mpsales@flow3d.comFLOW-3D/MP is the distributed memory version of Flow Science’s flagship CFD software, FLOW-3D. FLOW-3D/MP enables engineers to take advantage of the scaling potential of the software on multi-core clusters. FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 offers users substantial performance and scaling improvements compared to standard FLOW-3D v10.1 for workstations. Version 5.0 is a hybrid parallel version of FLOW-3D v10.1 and uses Message Passing Interface (MPI) and OpenMP to achieve parallelization. “Our 5-6 day simulations became 15-18 hour simulations using FLOW-3D/MP running on our cluster with Infiniband interconnect. Decreased simulation time allows us to investigate more design options and additional physics/phenomenological complexity.”-Dr. Justin Crapps and Dr. Jack Galloway, Los Alamos National LabsHardware that displays the Intel Cluster Ready logo is assured to run software which is also certified as Cluster Ready.C u s t o m e r S u c c e s s1-(505)-982-0088CastingIn this simulation, the high pressure die casting of an aluminum A380 part using a piston shot was studied.Mesh: 2.2 million cellsPhysical models: Air entrainment, cavitation, defect tracking, gravity, heat transfer, general moving-object (GMO) and RNG turbulence model with dynamically computed maximum turbulent mixing lengthNumerical Models: Implicit advection and implicit GMRESHydraulicsIn this simulation, the hydraulic jump and the overall flow current for water flowing in a spillway was studied.Mesh: 14.6 million cellsPhysical models: Free-surface tracking, gravity, air entrainment and RNG turbulence model with dynamically computed maximum turbulent mixing lengthNumerical Models: Implicit GMRESAerospaceIn this simulation, the fuel sloshing in an F-16 aircraft fuel tank at various flight conditions was studied.Mesh: 0.7 million cellsPhysical models: Free-surface tracking, non-inertial reference frame, gravity, electric potential, and RNG Turbulence model with dynamically computed maximum turbulent mixing lengthNumerical Models: Implicit advection, implicit GMRES, split Lagrangian VOFMicrofluidicsIn this simulation, the formation and discharge of an ink drop in a printer nozzle was studied.Mesh: 2 million cellsPhysical models: Free-surface tracking, laminar viscosity and surface tensionNumerical Models: Implicit GMRESf low3d.com/mpsales@flow3d.comB e n c h m a r k sVERSION 5.01-(505)-982-0088FLOW-3D is a registered trademark in the US and other countries.
