A semi-implicit pressure based multigrid algorithm for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations was implemented on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). The multigrid method employed was the Full Approximation Scheme (FAS), which is used for solving nonlinear equations. This algorithm is applied to the 2D driven cavity problem and compared to the CPU version of the code (written in Fortran) to assess computational speed-up.

This paper describes the numerical simulation of the asymmetric exhaust flows by using a 3D viscous flow solver incorporating an actuator disc blade row model. The three dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved by using the TVD Lax-Wendroff scheme. The convergence to a steady state is speeded up by using the V-cycle multigrid algorithm. Turbulence eddy viscosity is estimated by the Baldwin-Lomax model. Multiblock method is applied to cope with the complicated physical domains. Actuator disc model is used to represent a turbine blade row and to achieve the required flow turning and entropy rise across the blade row. The solution procedure and the actuator disc boundary conditions are described. The stream traces in various sections of the exhaust hood are presented to demonstrate the complicity of the flow patterns existing in the exhaust hood.
