Numerical Simulation of the Unsteady Turbomachinery Flow on a MIMD Computer

An interactive flow simulation system has been developed by the authors to study and analyze unsteady flow phenomena in turbomachinery components. The system is implemented on a massively parallel computer. The parallel code offers full scalability in technically relevant applications on machine configurations of 1 up to 1024 processors. Emphasis is on time accurate and spatial high-resolution numerical schemes for unsteady, transonic flows and the parallel implementation. As an example, the simulation of a shock induced interaction in a transonic compressor stage will be presented.
