SOLVCON: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Supercomputing, and Python
log in to bookmark this presentaton
Abstract
SOLVCON (http://solvcon.net/) is an open-source, Python-based, multi-physics, supercomputing software framework for conservation laws. It has been applied to computational fluid dynamics and computational solid mechanics. Constructed as a framework, SOLVCON is able to regulate many supportive functionalities, which were duplicated in many legacy codes. Using Python as the fundamental tool for simulation codes is rare, but very attractive. Aided by mixing Python with other high-speed programming languages such as C or CUDA, modern techniques of software engineering can be used for simulation codes, without penalty for speed. Undoubtedly, Python will become the mainstream tool for numerical simulations.
This poster shows:
- the applications of SOLVCON for aerodynamics and propagating waves in solids, and
- essential sub-systems for supercomputing.
