In this paper a new scalable hydrodynamic code GPUPEGAS (GPUaccelerated PErformance Gas Astrophysic Simulation) for simulation of interacting galaxies is proposed. The code is based on combination of Godunov method as well as on the original implementation of FlIC method, specially adapted for GPU-implementation. Fast Fourier Transform is used for Poisson equation solution in GPUPEGAS. Software implementation of the above methods was tested on classical gas dynamics problems, new Aksenov's test and classical gravitational gas dynamics problems. Collisionless hydrodynamic approach was used for modelling of stars and dark matter. The scalability of GPUPEGAS computational accelerators is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
