RT Journal Article T1 IberWQ: A GPU accelerated tool for 2D water quality modeling in rivers and estuaries A1 García Feal, Orlando A1 Cea, Luis A1 González Cao, José A1 Domínguez Alonso, José Manuel A1 Gómez Gesteira, Ramon K1 3301.12 Hidrodinámica K1 2502.02 Climatología Aplicada K1 1203.11 Logicales de Ordenadores K1 2501.22 Física de las Precipitaciones AB Numerical models are useful tools to analyze water quality by computing the concentration of physical, chemical and biological parameters. The present work introduces a two-dimensional depth-averaged model that computes the most relevant and frequent parameters used to evaluate water quality. High performance computing (HPC) techniques based on graphic processing unit (GPU) parallelization have been applied to improve the efficiency of the package, providing speed-ups of two orders of magnitude in a standard PC. Several test cases were analyzed to show the capabilities and efficiency of the model to evaluate the environmental status of rivers and non-stratified estuaries. IberWQ will be freely available through the package Iber.
