Parallelization of UDFs in ANSYS FLUENT
by
Subhransu Majhi
Most of the UDFs that we create in-house are programmed for serial mode of ANSYS FLUENT since it only involves basic coding in C program with required marcos and our UDF is ready. However, parallel mode of ANSYS FLUENT has tremendously reduced the simulation time and hence it becomes very important for us to modify our serial UDFs to support parallel processing as well. But, here comes the challenge for us (mechanical engineers) to write down a parallel processing code in C...

Some OpenSource CFD and Mesh codes
This is part 2 of the post Open Sourced CFD and Mesh codes
Xfoil: 2D viscous/inviscid interactive code. http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/xfoil/ . More of a low computational cost design code.
AVL: 3D vortex lattice code: http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/avl/ . Another code with low computational overhead.
OpenFoam: 3D, very versatile code. Active user community. Various pre-build packages as well. http://www.openfoam.com/
XLR5: http://xflr5.sourceforge.net/xflr5.htm wings/aerofoil code. Again...

Scientific development in Windows : Setting Up
Yes ! reluctantly I have been fiddling with Windows for scientific development. I am presently involved in a project, in collaboration with some big guys (in terms of coding). Windows happens to used by one of the developers, although the parallel jobs are submitted on Scientific Linux clusters. So, I thought why not try it out. phew.
There are two ways to go about this, one the paid way and two the free way ! Paid ways are many which include the use of Microsoft Visual Studio with Intel...
