Leveraging HPC for large-scale CFD computations

Time	Class	Questions
60 min	Define CFD workflow	What are the steps in running CFD on HPC? What is the most appropriate work strategy for HPC?
75 min	Plan the simulations	How many simulations do I need? What CFD tool is appropriate to solve this problem? Does my simulation require the use of HPC?
90 min	Estimate HPC requirements	What are the considerations to estimate the total mesh size of a simulation? How do I estimate the total time steps needed for a simulation? What are the various approaches to estimate the memory and storage requirements of a simulation? What parameters are involved in computing the total simulation costs?
75 min	Preprocessing	What is the optimal workflow and toolset needed to preprocess a CFD simulation? What are the considerations in the geometry and mesh generation process? How do I determine, a priori, if my mesh is good? What parameters should I consider in setting the simulation?
90 min	Optimizing HPC	How do I perform a weak and strong scaling analysis? How do I determine the optimal HPC system for a given code? How do I effectively use HPC resources?
75 min	Run simulations on HPC	How do I organize simulation files on the cluster? How do I run a large-scale CFD simulation on HPC systems? How do I monitor the simulation during runtime? How do I save data efficiently?
