Simulation of the 3 dimensional cascade flow with numerical wind tunnel (NWT)

ABSTRACT

The NWT was reinforced to get 280 GFLOPS of theoretical peak performance with the addition of 26 PEs to the original 140 PEs. On a CFD simulation of jet engine compressor, we attained active performance speed of 111 GFLOPS using 160 PEs.
