Cluster Scalability Of ANSYS Fluent 12.0 For A Large Aerodynamics Case On The Darwin Supercomputer


This work examines the parallel scalability characteristics of commercial CFD software ANSYS FLUENT 12 for up to 256 processing cores, for transient CFD simulations that are heavy in I/O relative to numerical operations. In studies conducted with engineering contributions from the University of Cambridge and ANSYS, the Linux HPC environment named Darwin combined an Intel Xeon cluster with a P... » read more
