This paper describes the design and implementation of a grid system META (Metacomputing Environment using Test-run of Application) which facilitates the execution of a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis program on distributed environment. The grid system META allows the CFD program developers can access the computing resources distributed over the network just like one computer system. The research issues involved in the grid computing include fault-tolerance, computing resource selection, and user-interface design. In this paper, we exploits an automatic resource selection scheme for executing the parallel SPMD (Single Program Multiple Data) application written in MPI (Message Passing Interface). The proposed resource selection scheme is informed from the network latency time and the elapsed time of the kernel loop attained from test-run. The network latency time highly influences the executional performance when a parallel program is distributed and executed over several systems. The elapsed time of the kernel loop can be used as an estimator of the whole execution time of the CFD Program due to a common characteristic of CFD programs. The kernel loop consumes over 90% of the whole execution time of a CFD program.

Metacomputing system is the environment, which helps the users easily and promptly deal with their jobs. with integration of the distributed computing resources and visualization device. In this research, we have developed a prototype of a special-purpose metacomputing system for simulation in CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) field. This system supports the automatic remote compilation, transparent data distribution, the selection of appropriate computing resource, and the realtime visualization. This research can be summarized as following: a study on selecting resource and the integration of component systems. In the research of selecting computing resource, we use the property of CFD algorithm. In the research of realtime visualization. we modify a popular visualizer.

For simulation of three-dimensional turbulent flow with LES and DNS takes much time and expense with current available computing resources. It is nearly impossible to simulate turbulent flow with high Reynolds number. So, the emerging alternative is the Grid computing for needed computation power and working environment. In this study, the CFD code was parallelized to adapt it for the parallel computing under the Grid environment. In the first place, the Grid environment was built to connect the PC-Cluster facilities belong to the different institutions using communication network system. And CFD applications were calculated to check the performance of the parallel code developed for the Grid environment. Although it is a fundamental study, it brings about a important meaning as first step in research of the Grid.

At the end of 1999, the TeraCluster Project in the KISTI Supercomputing Center was initiated to explore the possibility of PC clusters as a scientific computing platform to replace the Cray T3E system in KISTI by 2002. Since actual performance of a computing system varies significantly for different architectures, representative in-house codes from major application fields were executed to evaluate the actual performance of systems with different combination of CPU, network and network topology. As an example of practical CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, the flow past the Onera-M6 wing and the flow past a infinite wing were simulated on a clusters of Linux and several other hardware environments.

At present, most of the widely used system codes for nuclear safety analysis are one-dimensional, which cannot effectively simulate the flow field of the reactor core or other structures. This is true even for the system codes containing three-dimensional modules with limited three-dimensional simulation function such as RELAP-3D. In contrast, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes excel at providing a detailed three-dimensional flow field of the reactor core or other components; however, the computational domain is relatively small and results in the very high computing resource consuming. Therefore, the development of coupling codes, which can make comprehensive use of the advantages of system and CFD codes, has become a research focus. In this paper, a review focus on the researches of coupled CFD and thermal-hydraulic system codes was carried out, which summarized the method of coupling, the data transfer processing between CFD and system codes, and the verification and validation (V&V) of coupled codes. Furthermore, a series of problems associated with the coupling procedure have been identified, which provide the general direction for the development and V&V efforts of coupled codes.

We parallelized the CFD_NIMR model, which is a numerical meteorological model, for best performance on both of distributed and shared memory parallel computers. This hybrid parallelization uses MPI (Message Passing Interface) to apply horizontal 2-dimensional sub-domain out of the 3-dimensional computing domain for distributed memory system, as well as uses OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) to apply vertical 1-dimensional sub-domain for utilizing advantage of shared memory structure. We validated the parallel model with the original sequential model, and the parallel CFD_NIMR model shows efficient speedup on the distributed and shared memory system.

Many engineering problems often require the large amount of computing resources for iterative simulations of problems treating many parameters and input files. In order to overcome the situation, this paper proposes an e-Science based computational system. The system exploits the Grid computing technology to establish an integrated web service environment which supports distributed high throughput computational simulations and remote executions. The proposed system provides an easy-to-use parametric study service where a computational service includes real time monitoring. To verify usability of the proposed system, two kinds of applications were introduced. The first application is an Aerospace Integrated Research System (e-AIRS). The e-AIRS adapts the proposed computational system to solve CFD problems. The second one is design and optimization of protein 3-dimensional structures.
