Parallel processing techniques for the solution of Euler equations
Abstract
The solution of Euler equations using a numerical scheme whereby a flow field is divided into a number of blocks, with a computational grid generated for each block, is discussed. A relaxation scheme is used for the iterative solution of the equations for each of the blocks as well as the coupling between the neighboring blocks. Implementations of the scheme on a large mainframe computer which allows multitasking and on a smaller multiprocessing machine are described. It is shown that the scheme enables efficient utilization of computer resources in terms of memory, number of processors, and I/O facilities.
