Fast computing of velocity field for flows in industrial burners and pumps

In this work we present a technique of fast numerical computation for solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in the case of flows of industrial interest. At first the partial differential equations are translated into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the geometrical shape of the domain where the flow is developing, then these ODEs are numerically resolved using a set of computations distributed among the available processors. We present some results from simulations on a parallel hardware architecture using native multithreads software and simulating a shared-memory or a distributed-memory environment.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures; paper accepted for Special Issue "Application of distributed and grid computing", Future Generation Computer Systems journal, 200
