-The application of GPUs has extended beyond traditional graphics rendering because their
-parallel processing capabilities can accelerate many general-purpose tasks, such as machine
-learning and scientific computing. This thesis presents the implementation of two numerical
-solvers for the solution of non-equilibrium gas flows. It also demonstrates the computational
-performance of the two solvers when developed to target GPU-based supercomputers using the SYCL
-programming model. The first solver incorporates a novel ray-tracing technique and accurate
-mathematical relations to efficiently compute any observable property of free-molecular flow
-past convex shapes (FMFC). It computes integrals of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function
-to create an algorithm that quickly evaluates any moment of the local particle-velocity
-distribution. This highly efficient technique is extended for GPUs to accelerate the
-computation of accurate results. Results produced with the solver serve as robust benchmarks
-in the validation of other scientific models that describe fluid motion in non-equilibrium
-regimes. The second solver extends a CPU-based implementation of the discontinuous Galerkin Hancock (DGH)
-method into an efficient GPU code. The DGH scheme is a high-order numerical method that
-solves hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with stiff source terms. This class
-of equations is common in many models that are used to describe non-equilibrium gas flows.
-The GPU implementation of the DGH solver that is presented in this work provides a
-computationally efficient and numerically accurate method to compute the solution for these
-models. Results produced by the FMFC and DGH solvers showcase their accuracy and parallel
-scalability as efficient GPU algorithms. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the FMFC
-solver as a validation tool is demonstrated by producing benchmarks to confirm the
-accuracy of scientific models that are solved with numerical schemes such as DGH.
