Abstract

We describe our parallel implementation for large-eddy simulation and direct numerical simulation of turbulent fluids (called PARDISTUF) based on the three-dimensional incompressible Navier - Stokes equation. Benchmark results on a set of european supercomputers under the message-passing platform MPI are presented. Using this programm on a 48 node SP-2 we resolved the inertial subrange of Kolmogorv's turbulence spectra for the first time for a stratified and sheared environmental flow.
