Development of Real-time Flow Simulations for Indoor Environments

A 3D time dependent interactive real-time thermal and turbulent fluid flow solver with an integrated visualisation tool has been implemented. Our work emphasises on accelerating or speeding-up the time to solution. A novel Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) -based CFD technique has been implemented on the graphics processing unit (GPU) for this purpose. Good agreement between LBM results and traditional CFD based method are observed.
