Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper describes a parallel implementation of the discontinuous Galerkin method. Discontinuous Galerkin is a spatially compact method that retains its accuracy and robustness on non-smooth unstructured grids and is well suited for time dependent simulations. Several parallelization approaches are studied and evaluated. The most natural and symmetric of the approaches has been implemented in an object-oriented code used to simulate aeroacoustic scattering. The parallel implementation is MPI-based and has been tested on various parallel platforms such as the SGI Origin, IBM SP2, and clusters of SGI and Sun workstations. The scalability results presented for the SGI Origin show slightly superlinear speedup on a fixed-size problem due to cache effects."

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Um die komplexe Physik in kompressiblen Strömungen genauer zu verstehen, kommen vermehrt Simulationen zum Einsatz. Jedoch können weit verbreitete kommerzielle Softwarepakete die Physik aufgrund ihrer niedrigen Genauigkeit oft nicht korrekt erfassen. In dieser Arbeit wird eine diskontinuierliche Galerkin Methode mit hoher Ordnung entwickelt, welche eine hohe Genauigkeit erzielt. Dabei werden insbesondere zwei Probleme, die im Kontext von Verfahren mit hoher Ordnung auftreten, behandelt. Zum einen wird die Gittergenerierung durch das Verwenden einer Immersed Boundary Methode deutlich vereinfacht. Dies bedeutet, dass die Problemgeometrie aus einem deutlich einfacheren Hintergrundgitter herausgeschnitten wird. Die Geometrie wird mit Hilfe einer Level-Set Funktion dargestellt, und die Integration auf den entstehenden geschnittenen Zellen wird mittels einer hierarchischen Moment-Fitting Quadratur durchgeführt. Das Problem der sehr kleinen oder stark gekrümmten Zellen wird durch Zellagglomeration gelöst. Zum zweiten wird die starke Zeitschrittbeschränkung durch anisotrope Gitter mit Hilfe eines lokalen Zeitschrittverfahrens behoben. Diverse numerische Experimente bestätigen die hohe Genauigkeit, Effizienz und geometrische Flexibilität der vorgestellten Methode.

Download or read book Discontinuous Galerkin Methods written by Bernardo Cockburn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A class of finite element methods, the Discontinuous Galerkin Methods (DGM), has been under rapid development recently and has found its use very quickly in such diverse applications as aeroacoustics, semi-conductor device simula tion, turbomachinery, turbulent flows, materials processing, MHD and plasma simulations, and image processing. While there has been a lot of interest from mathematicians, physicists and engineers in DGM, only scattered information is available and there has been no prior effort in organizing and publishing the existing volume of knowledge on this subject. In May 24-26, 1999 we organized in Newport (Rhode Island, USA), the first international symposium on DGM with equal emphasis on the theory, numerical implementation, and applications. Eighteen invited speakers, lead ers in the field, and thirty-two contributors presented various aspects and addressed open issues on DGM. In this volume we include forty-nine papers presented in the Symposium as well as a survey paper written by the organiz ers. All papers were peer-reviewed. A summary of these papers is included in the survey paper, which also provides a historical perspective of the evolution of DGM and its relation to other numerical methods. We hope this volume will become a major reference in this topic. It is intended for students and researchers who work in theory and application of numerical solution of convection dominated partial differential equations. The papers were written with the assumption that the reader has some knowledge of classical finite elements and finite volume methods.

Download or read book Parallel Computing On the Road to Exascale written by G.R. Joubert and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As predicted by Gordon E. Moore in 1965, the performance of computer processors increased at an exponential rate. Nevertheless, the increases in computing speeds of single processor machines were eventually curtailed by physical constraints. This led to the development of parallel computing, and whilst progress has been made in this field, the complexities of parallel algorithm design, the deficiencies of the available software development tools and the complexity of scheduling tasks over thousands and even millions of processing nodes represent a major challenge to the construction and use of more powerful parallel systems. This book presents the proceedings of the biennial International Conference on Parallel Computing (ParCo2015), held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in September 2015. Topics covered include computer architecture and performance, programming models and methods, as well as applications. The book also includes two invited talks and a number of mini-symposia. Exascale computing holds enormous promise in terms of increasing scientific knowledge acquisition and thus contributing to the future well-being and prosperity of mankind. A number of innovative approaches to the development and use of future high-performance and high-throughput systems are to be found in this book, which will be of interest to all those whose work involves the handling and processing of large amounts of data.

Download or read book Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics 99 written by D. Keyes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-10-18 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributed presentations were given by over 50 researchers representing the state of parallel CFD art and architecture from Asia, Europe, and North America. Major developments at the 1999 meeting were: (1) the effective use of as many as 2048 processors in implicit computations in CFD, (2) the acceptance that parallelism is now the 'easy part' of large-scale CFD compared to the difficulty of getting good per-node performance on the latest fast-clocked commodity processors with cache-based memory systems, (3) favorable prospects for Lattice-Boltzmann computations in CFD (especially for problems that Eulerian and even Lagrangian techniques do not handle well, such as two-phase flows and flows with exceedingly multiple-connected demains with a lot of holes in them, but even for conventional flows already handled well with the continuum-based approaches of PDEs), and (4) the nascent integration of optimization and very large-scale CFD.

Download or read book Recent Developments in Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods for Partial Differential Equations written by Xiaobing Feng and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods has attracted considerable recent attention from scholars in the applied sciences and engineering. This volume brings together scholars working in this area, each representing a particular theme or direction of current research. Derived from the 2012 Barrett Lectures at the University of Tennessee, the papers reflect the state of the field today and point toward possibilities for future inquiry. The longer survey lectures, delivered by Franco Brezzi and Chi-Wang Shu, respectively, focus on theoretical aspects of discontinuous Galerkin methods for elliptic and evolution problems. Other papers apply DG methods to cases involving radiative transport equations, error estimates, and time-discrete higher order ALE functions, among other areas. Combining focused case studies with longer sections of expository discussion, this book will be an indispensable reference for researchers and students working with discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods and its applications.

Download or read book High Order Methods for Computational Physics written by Timothy J. Barth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of high-order accurate numerical discretization techniques for irregular domains and meshes is often cited as one of the remaining chal lenges facing the field of computational fluid dynamics. In structural me chanics, the advantages of high-order finite element approximation are widely recognized. This is especially true when high-order element approximation is combined with element refinement (h-p refinement). In computational fluid dynamics, high-order discretization methods are infrequently used in the com putation of compressible fluid flow. The hyperbolic nature of the governing equations and the presence of solution discontinuities makes high-order ac curacy difficult to achieve. Consequently, second-order accurate methods are still predominately used in industrial applications even though evidence sug gests that high-order methods may offer a way to significantly improve the resolution and accuracy for these calculations. To address this important topic, a special course was jointly organized by the Applied Vehicle Technology Panel of NATO's Research and Technology Organization (RTO), the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, and the Numerical Aerospace Simulation Division at the NASA Ames Research Cen ter. The NATO RTO sponsored course entitled "Higher Order Discretization Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics" was held September 14-18,1998 at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Belgium and September 21-25,1998 at the NASA Ames Research Center in the United States.

Download or read book An Introduction to Element Based Galerkin Methods on Tensor Product Bases written by Francis X. Giraldo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to solving partial differential equations (PDEs) numerically using element-based Galerkin methods. Although it draws on a solid theoretical foundation (e.g. the theory of interpolation, numerical integration, and function spaces), the book’s main focus is on how to build the method, what the resulting matrices look like, and how to write algorithms for coding Galerkin methods. In addition, the spotlight is on tensor-product bases, which means that only line elements (in one dimension), quadrilateral elements (in two dimensions), and cubes (in three dimensions) are considered. The types of Galerkin methods covered are: continuous Galerkin methods (i.e., finite/spectral elements), discontinuous Galerkin methods, and hybridized discontinuous Galerkin methods using both nodal and modal basis functions. In addition, examples are included (which can also serve as student projects) for solving hyperbolic and elliptic partial differential equations, including both scalar PDEs and systems of equations.
