High Performance Computing in Fluid Dynamics: Proceedings of the Summerschool on High Performance Computing in Fluid Dynamics held at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, June 24–28 1996

This book contains the course notes of the Summerschool on High Per- formance Com;~ting in Fluid Dynamics, held at the Delft University of Technology, June 24-28, 1996, under the auspices of and with support of ERCOFTAC (European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, WWW: http://imhefwww.epfl.ch/lmf/ERCOFTAC) and the J.M. Burgers Center (Graduate School for Fluid Dynamics, The Nether- lands, WWW: http://tnj.phys.tue.nl/fdl/Burgers.html). In addition to the material presented in the present volume, lectures were given by J. Hauser on "A parallel Newton-GMRES method for the 3D N avier-Stokes equations in complex geometries". The material written down by F.-S. Lien was presented by M.A. Leschziner. This book is addressed to students on a graduate level and researchers in industry engaged in scientific computing, who have little or no experience with high performance computing, but who want to learn more, and/or want to port their code to parallel platforms. Applications in computa- tional fluid dynamics are emphasized.
