On the robust solution of process simulation problems
Dr Lawrence Daniels and Dr Iain Strachan
(Hyprotech)
Abstract
In this talk we review experiences of using the Harwell Subroutine
Library and other numerical software codes in implementing large scale
solvers for commercial industrial process simulation packages. Such
packages are required to solve problems in an efficient and robust
manner. A core requirement is the solution of sparse systems of linear
equations; various HSL routines have been used and are compared.
Additionally, the requirement for fast small dense matrix solvers is
examined.
