Flow Science, Inc. announces a new release of FLOW-3D/MP, the distributed memory version of its flagship CFD software, FLOW-3D. FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 enables engineers to take advantage of the scaling potential of the software on multi-core clusters. FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 offers users substantial performance and scaling improvements compared to standard FLOW-3D v10.1 for workstations and to the prior release of FLOW-3D/MP, v4.2.

Highlights of FLOW-3D/MP v5.0:

— Developed and optimized for the latest multi-core architecture
— Physical models fully synced with FLOW-3D v10.1
— Parallelization based on the Hybrid MPI-OpenMP methodology
— Automatic Decomposition Tool allows directional decomposition
— True Domain Decomposition
— Full compatibility with FLOW-3D v10.1 GUI for post-processing results

The physical models in FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 are based on FLOW-3D v10.1, which was released in early 2013. Read a complete list of FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 features.

FLOW-3D/MP, first released by Flow Science in 2006, uses a multi-block domain decomposition technique to distribute the simulation onto compute nodes in a cluster. FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 has been tested extensively and is currently supported on Linux systems (RHEL 5 & 6 and SUSE 11). Read more about FLOW-3D/MP v5.0’s high performance computing capabilities.

Flow Science has commenced shipment of this new release to FLOW-3D/MP customers under maintenance contracts.
