Abstract
This is an interdisciplinary study on fast linear algebra algorithms and high performance computing methods with applications in flow physics. Fast linear algebra algorithms are the essence of most high performance scientific calculations. In this thesis we study various novel fast linear algebra techniques, including adaptive fast multipole method and fast sparse linear solvers using low-rank approximation and extended sparsification. We also discuss numerical and computational methods developed for high fidelity simulation of heated particle-laden flows, which is followed by review of new physics discovered. We show heated particles can modify spectral properties of the background turbulence. The effect of particle preferential concentration in particle-to-gas heat transfer is studied. In addition, we use the developed computational physics framework to benchmark our proposed novel sparse matrix linear solver.
