Area of Science:

• Computational fluid dynamics
• Scientific computing

Background:

• Fluid simulations involve complex operations like discretization and system solving.
• Existing methods lack a unified approach, hindering efficiency and parallelization.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce a general, field-based fluid simulation framework.
• To simplify and unify fluid simulation operations.
• To facilitate the rapid generation of parallel fluid simulation codes.

Main Methods:

• Abstracting common fluid simulation operations into a general framework based on "fields".
• Integrating parallelism (OpenMP, MPI) into the field-based framework.
• Developing a parallel 3D matrix acidization simulator (Masor) as an application.

Main Results:

• The field-based framework simplifies and unifies fluid simulation operations.
• Parallelization is efficiently achieved at both OpenMP and MPI levels.
• The Masor simulator demonstrates physically reasonable results, validating the framework's effectiveness.

Conclusions:

• A novel field-based general framework significantly simplifies fluid simulations.
• The framework enables efficient parallel code generation for large-scale problems.
• The developed Masor simulator confirms the framework's correctness and practical applicability.
