Parallel numerical modelling of solidification on a PC-based cluster
Roman Wyrzykowski, Norbert Sczygiol, Tomasz Olas · 2001
The paper concerns theoretical and practical aspects of parallelising the finite element computations used for modelling non-linear heat transfer, which occurs in solidifying castings. To parallelise the resulting FE model, a finite element mesh is divided into a set of sub-meshes. They are then solved concurrently over different processors, which communicate with each over. Examples of computer simulation were performed on a cluster, built this year at Technical University of Czestochowa.
