Towards a Unified Platform for Massively Parallel Numerical Flow Simulation

One of the main targets of DLR's project Victoria is the development of a platform for multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization (MDA/O) on massively parallel High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters. The activity consists of three main parts: FlowSimulator as integration platform for multiple disciplines, Flucs (Flexible Unstructured CFD Software) as new Computational fluid Dynamics (CFD) capability targeting HPC efficiency as well as a consistent implementation of both established and new methodologies including high order discretization schemes, and Spliss (Sparse Linear System Solver) as a dedicated HPC-driven linear solver library for CFD applications.
