Efficient parallel shock-capturing method for aerodynamics simulations on body-unfitted cartesian grids

Abstract

For problems with complex geometry, a numerical method is proposed for solving the three-dimensional nonstationary Euler equations on Cartesian grids with the use of hybrid computing systems. The baseline numerical scheme, a method for implementing internal boundary conditions on body-unfitted grids, and an iterative matrix-free LU-SGS method for solving the discretized equations are described. An efficient software implementation of the numerical algorithm on a multiprocessor hybrid CPU/GPU computing system is considered. Results of test computations are presented.
