Summary: | This paper reports our experiences in setting up a cost effective way of doing computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The actions involve two areas, i.e., software and hardware. For the software, open source softwares are utilized, particularly the OpenFOAM® as the CFD package. For the hardware, a parallel computer made from a cluster of inexpensive desktop computer is constructed. This architecture is found able to meet our requirement in investigating various flow problems that include aeroacoustics, vibration and wind engineering for ventilation. |
