RESEARCH AND WORK EXPERIENCE 

Research Interests & Activities 

• Development of CFD Software 

Development and programming of CFD analysis software for all flow speeds 

(using low Mach number preconditioning), used for the numerical prediction of 

steady and unsteady flows in turbomachines, ducts, isolated airfoils, flow around 

aircraft as well as flows in the presence of smoke in 3D enclosures. 

• Development of Optimization Methods 

(a) Deterministic optimization methods: adjoint methods. 

‣ Development of discrete and continuous adjoint approaches for use in 

aerodynamic shape optimization problems at all flow speeds. These are 

based on the Navier–Stokes equations with low Mach number 

preconditioning and the adjoint equations are derived either by employing 

the adjoint to the preconditioned flow equations or by preconditioning the 

adjoint to the ‘standard’ flow equations. 

‣ Development of one-shot continuous and discrete adjoint methods. 

(b) Stochastic optimization methods: evolutionary algorithms (EAs). 

‣ Support and development of the general purpose optimization software 

EASY (Evolutionary Algorithms SYstem), http:/147.102.55.162/EASY/. 

‣ Development of asynchronous structured EA (AEA). The lack of generations 

removes synchronization problems and allows the maximum utilization of 

all available processors. AEA is used for the design-optimization of 

aerodynamic shapes either on Cluster or Grid Computing. 

• Parallelization Techniques 

‣ Programming of CFD analysis software on multiprocessor platforms using 

the PVM and MPI protocols. 

‣ Cluster- and Grid-Computing. 

• Programming on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) 

‣ Porting the 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes equations solvers for steady and 

unsteady flows on unstructured/hybrid grids from the CPU to the GPU, 

using CUDA architecture. The GPU implementations lead to speed-ups up 

to ~80x with respect to the code running on a single CPU core. 

‣ Design-optimization using one-shot adjoint methods on GPUs. 

‣ Extension (of the programming of the GPU-enabled software) from one to 

many GPUs (either on a single or on multiple boards).
