Alya System - Large Scale Computational Mechanics

Overview: 

The Alya System is a Computational Mechanics (CM) code with two main features. Firstly, it is special ly designed for running with the highest effiency standards in large scale supercomputing facilities. Secondly, it is capable of solving different physics, each one with its own modelization characteristics, in a coupled way. Both main features are intimately related, meaning that all complex coupled problems solved by Alya must retain the efficiency. Among the problems it solves are:

  • Incompressible Flows
  • Compressible Flows
  • Non-linear Solid Mechanics
  • Species transport equations
  • Excitable Media
  • Thermal Flows
  • N-body collisions

 

By specially designed we mean that Alya is designed from scratch to program in a flexible yet clear way every kind of CM model to run in parallel computers. That is to say that Alya was not an originally sequential code which was parallelized afterwards, but a code so designed from scratch.
