Özet

In this study, a newly developed parallel finite-volume solver for 3-D viscous flows on hybrid grids is presented. The boundary layers in wall bounded viscous flows are discretized with hexahedral cells for improved accuracy and efficiency, while the rest of the domain is discretized by tetrahedral and pyramidal cells. The computations are performed in parallel in a computer cluster. The parallel solution algorithm with hybrid grids is based on domain decomposition which is obtained using the graph partitioning software METIS. Several validation cases are presented to show the accuracy and the efficiency of the newly developed solver. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
