Abstract
In this work, we study the parallel performance of OpenFOAM-based solver for heat conduction in electrical power cables. The 2D benchmark problem is used for our tests. The parallelization approach used in OpenFOAM-based solver is described and a basic scalability analysis is done. Results of computational experiments on a cluster of multicore computers are presented and the parallel efficiency and scalability of the solver are analyzed.
