Abstract

Modern fluid dynamics simulations are very resource intensive, both in terms of memory space and of computational time; thus parallel computing platforms are often necessary to satisfy complex design goals within reasonable time. We present an account of our experience with the parallelization of the KIVA-3 fluid dynamics code, outlining the major problems encountered and the direction of future developments.
