The developing brownout cloud beneath a hovering microrotor is simulated using a hybrid free-vortex method–unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes solver coupled with a Lagrangian sediment-tracking algorithm. The present work attempts to examine the capabilities of a high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics analysis together with a sediment-tracking algorithm to analyze the evolution of brownout clouds. Both the single-phase and dual-phase flowfields are simulated and compared to available experimental data. The variation of the phenomenological attributes of the cloud evolution as a function of particle size was analyzed and found to agree with experimental evidence. To enable fast single-desktop simulations, all components of this methodology are designed to run on double-precision, programmable graphics processing units. This hybrid implementation uses a multigranular parallel approach to demonstrate significant performance gains over equivalent single-core central processing unit simulations even when computations involve the solution of sparse implicit systems.
