[ 摘 要 ] 问题求解规模的不断扩大、计算机硬件架构的升级以及软件并行优化技术的成熟,推动了大规
模并行计算的发展。Fluent软件是目前计算流体领域国际上广受认可的通用软件,用于模拟具
有复杂外形的流体流动以及热传导等。本文结合国家超级计算济南中心的神威蓝光硬件资源、
Fluent软件资源以及应用实例,探讨了Fluent并行求解的原理和方法,分析了某案例在不同
处理器数目下的计算效率以及Fluent并行求解方式对计算效率的影响,为该类问题的大规模
计算以及更好地发挥Fluent软件的并行计算优势提供参考。

[ Abstract ] Massively parallel computing is rapidly developed with unceasing expansion of parallel solving scale an-d
optimization of hardware/software. Fluent is the most popular software in field of calculation fluid. It is used to
simulate the complex shape of the fluid flow and heat transfer. Combined with Shenwei Blu-ray hardware
resources in the National Supercomputing Center in Ji'nan, an application example is applied on different
number of cores in our paper. We discuss the principle of parallel Fluent, the computational efficiency with
Multi-cores and the influence of parallel algorithm. Our paper provides the reference for the large scale parallel
computing of actual problem, and shows how to make better use of the advantage in Fluent calculation.
