High Performance Computing in Engineering: Introduction and Algorithms : Applications to Partial Differential Equations

by Henry Power (Editor)

This title provides an overview of the use and the applications of supercomputers and parallel architectures for engineering purposes. Topics covered viscoelastic finite element analysis performance on coarse grained and massively parallel supercomputers; time-parallelism for massively parallel solution of parabolic PDEs; costs and benefits of parallelizing efficient sequential codes; parallelization with a real-world CFD application on different parallel architectures; a comparison of computational efficiency and accuracy of two algorithms for solving convective heat transfer on supercomputers; parallel methods for the solution of two- and three-dimensional partial differential equations; a multiblock technique for integrated grid generation and viscous flow simulation using the Navier-Stokes code NSFLEX; and domain decomposition algorithms on parallel computers.
