Abstract

In order to run Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes on large scale infrastructures, parallel computing has to be used because of the computational intensive nature of the problems. In this paper we investigate the ADAPT platform where we couple flow Partial Differential Equations and a Poisson equation. This leads to a linear system which we solve using direct methods. The implementation deals with the MUMPS parallel multi-frontal direct solver and mesh partitioning methods using METIS to improve the performance of the framework. We also investigate, in this paper, how the mesh partitioning methods are able to optimize the mesh cell distribution for the ADAPT solver. The experience gained in this paper facilitates the move to a Service Oriented view of ADAPT as future work.

The funding supports of this work is the EnCoMix AAP SPC project (ANR-11-IDEX-05-02 Ref: SPC/JFG/2013031). The experiments conducted in this work were done on the nodes B500 of the University Paris 13 MAGI Cluster and available at http://cirrus.uspc.fr.
