Popis: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the FlowVision software. FlowVision is a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) code for modeling industrial three-dimensional turbulent fluid flows. FlowVision is based on the finite-volume method and rectangular adaptive mesh with local refinement. FlowVision employs a subgrid geometry resolution to approximate the curvilinear shape of a computational domain with high accuracy. This technology implies importing geometry from CAD packages and data exchange with FEA systems. The technology was implemented as portable parallel software using the MPI (message passing interface). It has been proven to be very reliable in solving industrial CFD problems. Results of numerical simulation of a time dependent flow using a cluster of PC workstations is discussed in this chapter. FlowVision has proven to be a reliable and efficient tool for simulation of complicated 3D CFD problems. The parallel version of FlowVision demonstrates a reasonable scalability on a cluster of PC workstations.
