The formation of the NCSA Industrial Partners' Special Interest Group in Computational Fluid Dynamics (SIGCFD) was announced at a meeting held in Chicago attended by Caterpillar Inc., The Dow Chemical Co., FMC Corp., Schlumberger Inc., and NCSA.
The objective of this SIGCFD is to create new tools and capabilities for the application of CFD technology by enhancing the effectiveness of technology collaboration between academia, industry, and the national high-performance computing centers.
SIGCFD's focus is on areas of interest to industry related to research in theoretical and experimental fluid mechanics, and the establishment and validation of new and existing numerical models for simulation. Initially the emphasis will be on internal flows in systems and equipment. Included will be the development of parallel algorithms, to enable CFD problems to be solved efficiently by employing emerging SIMD and MIMD architectures.
