GPGPU calculations of gas thermodynamic quantities

Computational processors NVIDIA Tesla GPU based on the new Fermi generation of CUDA architecture are intended to perform massively parallel calculations applicable to various parts of the scientific and technical research, including the area of fluid dynamics modeling, in particular the simulation of real gas flow. In this paper we show that a significant acceleration of simulation calculations can be achieved even without the parallelization of the solution of involved differential equations by parallel pre-calculation of thermodynamic quantities using GPGPU.
