Accelerated Lattice Boltzmann Solver for High-Reynolds Flows
Carter Groezinger
The goal of this research is to develop an accelerated Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) solver capable of efficiently simulating high-Reynolds-number fluid flows. Typical MATLAB-based LBM codes are computationally intense and poorly suited for large-scale problems. This project investigates a sequence of performance enhancements, including vectorization, parallel computing, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) implementation, to reduce computation time by several orders of magnitude.
