Abstract

A block-structured Navier-Stokes code has been developed and parallelized for use on the IBM-SP2 machine. The modular and flexible code structure allowed an easy porting to the distributed memory environment using the message passing technique. Nearly linear speedups have been obtained using up to 15, 20 processors.
