Real-Time Computation and Visualization on Mobile PC’s

Summary

Capability of the mobile PC’s for the CFD research is discussed. It is shown by the examples that much of the CFD research work done on supercomputers and workstations in the past can be done on mobile PC’s. Both computations and visualizations are feasible on mobile PC’s. Also shown is so called “visual computing” that shows the visualized imaged when the solution process proceeds. It helps the debug process of the computer code under development as it shows how the program blows up. It can also be used for the education of fluid dynamics. An example of WEB-CFD system is presented and the research shows that such system will widen the CFD usage as well as will be used as an education tool of fluid dynamics with the further progress of computer capability.
