Computational Fluid Dynamic Solver Based on Cellular Discrete-Event Simulation

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) deals with computing the equations of fluid flows using numerical methods. The Discrete-Event System specification (DEVS) theory has been used to approximate the continuous systems by applying a quantized state system approach. In this research, we employ Cellular DEVS theory (Cell-DEVS) – originally proposed for modeling and simulation of spatial environments – to create a uniform set of rules for CFD. This harmonized set of state changes can effectively render the fluid dynamics, by applying the accurate rule that represents the behavior of the fluid. The combination of the simplicity and the mathematical backbone allows for constructing models computable on an average computer or an array of cluster computers.
