description

We have applied a parallel Lattice Boltzmann method to solve the behaviour of the suspension flow. The complex behaviour of the suspension flow cannot be solved by analytical methods, so simulations are the only way to study it. Usually the size of an interesting problem is so big that calculation time on one processor is too long, and this can be solved by parallel program. We have written a parallel suspension flow solver and tested it on massive parallel computers. The measured performance of our program show that the parallelization of suspension particles was successful. We also show that over one million particles can be simulated.
