Use of OpenMP to parallelise a one-dimensional multiphase flow code
Stamatis Kalogerakos, Mustapha Gourma, Ninghong Jia · AIP conference proceedings · 2015
The project of parallelising a Fortran code designed to simulate one-dimensional multiphase flow simulations has been successfully completed. Parallelisation of such a code is of crucial importance due to its use for simulating flow in long pipes. The choice was made to use OpenMP rather than MPI parallelisation, and reasons for the choice are given in detail, together with explanations about the tasks involved. Speed-ups were observed to be better for complex mathematical models rather than simple ones.
