The aim of the project is the development of numerical methods and software for parallel computation of flows in complex geometries or with complex flow structure, and special graphics for visualisation and animation of the computed results.
Work includes: development of highly efficient parallel algorithms using structured and unstructured grids, development of advanced visualisation techniques for interpreting the results of 3D simulations and practical applications of the developed codes in industry.
European links: The project draws on experiences in the ESPRIT project PASHA (7074).
The results obtained so far are: two advanced nonisothermal turbulence models of a considerable difficulty have been tested and implemented into the code FASTEST-3D; the 2D unstructured compressible Euler code has been tuned for numerical simulation of flows into a rotating impeller; calculations of inviscid flow in vaned diffuser with various blade thickness, the creation of the general menu driven user friendly unstructured 2D/3D grid generation and the creation of general compressible 2D/3D Euler/Navier-Stokes unstructured codes have been completed; measurement of climate conditions in a selected industrial hall have been made including additional measurements of the velocity vector at ventilation air grids boundary.
Results achieved so far have been presented at conferences and published in journals; they have also been incorporated into the codes FASTEST-3D and EURANUS/TURBO.
