Unlocking CFD Performance at Scale with Ansys Fluent and VSC

Unlocking CFD Performance at Scale with Ansys Fluent and the Flemish Supercomputer Center

In this session, we bridge the gap between Ansys Fluent and supercomputing. You will discover how Ansys is constantly working to accelerate the entire CFD workflow, what recent developments there are in the field of meshing, and how CFD simulations can be drastically accelerated with the Fluent native multi-GPU solver. The VSC's GPU infrastructure offers a unique opportunity to explore the added value of high-end GPUs for your own CFD workflow. Using benchmark cases, we will show you how to deploy the multi GPU solver in a supercomputing environment such as the VSC and what scalability and speedups are achievable across multiple GPUs. We will also address the main challenges that arise when bridging commercial CFD software with HPC infrastructure.

As a concrete example, we collaborated with the Innoptus Solar Team, the renowned team of KU Leuven…
