COUPL and its Use within Hybrid Mesh CFD Applications

Publisher Summary The parallel library COUPL is presented. With this library we aim to extract aspects of high-performing computing such as data partitioning or message passing from grid-based solvers of CFD, CEM or other applications. The philosophy and concepts behind this library are explained and the main characteristics are described. Computational results obtained with a parallel CFD flow solver that is built upon COUPL are presented for various flow configurations and mesh types.
