Challenges in Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Approach From Kinetic Theory (Jonas Latt, UNIGE)

03.12.2024 14:00

The presentation provides an introduction to computational fluid dynamics and to the main challenges addressed in scientific research and engineering. An emphasis is put on addressing complexity on the side of the physics (fluid turbulence, multi-physics flows) and on the side of high-performance computing (HPC) hardware, especially on the use of multi-GPU systems. The presentation then provides a modern perspective on an approach to CFD based on kinetic theory (resolution of the Boltzmann equations). It is shown that considerations regarding the numerical solver cannot be treated out-of-context, without accounting for the hardware constraints of the HPC systems.
