FORT WORTH, TX – Pointwise released the case study, “28X Increase in Simulation Speed by Using Pointwise Meshes.” which explains how in collaboration with NASA GRC, ADSCFD applied the ADSCFD GPU accelerated CFD with Pointwise meshes to reduce simulation times by 28x.

The ADSCFD GPU accelerated flow solver offers a 28X speedup over the equivalent CPU based simulation for the analysis of novel casing treatment geometries over an embedded stage when using Pointwise’s hybrid and unstructured grids. Results are encouraging as the analysis shows the complexity of the flow physics and highlights how difficult it will be to design casing treatments effectively without fast and accurate CFD.

This is a key enabling technology for bringing novel casing treatment designs into next-generation gas turbine engines. Coupled with the ability to connect structured multi-block meshes to unstructured meshes, automate the process so that new designs can be easily swapped in and out and compared, the path to optimization is imminently achievable.

Pointwise, Inc. is solving the top problem facing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) today – reliably generating high-fidelity meshes.
