Abstract

This paper puts forward an efficient Lattice Boltzmann method for use as a wake simulator suitable for real-time environments. The method is limited to low speed incompressible flow but is very efficient and can be used to compute flows “on the fly”. In particular, many-core machines allow for the method to be used with the need of very expensive parallel clusters. Results are shown here for flows around cylinders and simple ship shapes.
