contents The present work describes the development of heterogeneous GPGPU implicit CFD coupled solvers, encompassing both density- and pressure- based approaches. In this setup, the assembled linear matrix is offloaded onto multiple GPUs using specialized external libraries to solve the linear problem efficiently. These coupled solvers are applied to two industrial test cases representing common scenarios: the NASA CRM in a transonic regime and the external aerodynamics study of the DriveAER car. Significant performance enhancements are evident when compared to their CPU counterparts. Specifically, the NASA CRM case achieves an overall speedup of more than 4x, while the DriveAER test case demonstrates improved stability and reduced computational time compared to segregated solvers. All calculations were carried out utilizing the GPU-based partition of the davinci-1 supercomputer at the Leonardo Labs, featuring 82 GPU-accelerated nodes.
