Event/Course Description

The focus of this short course is to provide to beginners in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) a crash course like introduction to the following essential knowledge:

  • Introduction to the LRZ Linux Cluster Systems and computing environment
  • Introduction to a typical user environment on LRZ Linux Cluster systems
  • Linux terminal access and file transfer tools
  • Usage of the module system
  • The batch queuing or scheduling system SLURM
  • Introduction to a typical CFD-oriented workflow on the example of ANSYS CFD and StarCCM+
  • Aspects of licensing of commercial CFD software at LRZ
  • Q & A

Prerequisites

This course is addressed to young scientists, PHD students and under-graduate students (Master level) with so far limited to no experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), but with the aim to use in future the High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources of the LRZ for their fluid mechanics oriented research. For this introductory course no further pre-existing HPC knowledge is required.
