Applications and Perspectives of Industrial CFD in Portugal
We aim to provide an accurate representation of industrial CFD
activities in Portugal. For this purpose we review some work
undertaken at blueCAPE. The presentation is thus comprised of three
sections: basic description of physical models and numerical
discretization techniques; application examples from industrial
applications; hardware developments and their implications in CFD
codes. The first section sets the context and the nomenclature for
the examples that follow in broad technical and scientific terms.
The second section puts forward some examples taken from a number
of industrial problems that blueCAPE has addressed through CFD
analysis. The third and final section discusses some of the
implications that the widening gap between fine and coarse-grained
parallelism imposed by hardware developments have on the current
generation of commercial CFD codes. Questions will be taken.
