Toward Parallel Environmental Transport Modeling on Computing Grids

چکیده
In this paper the authors present a methodology to pursue parallel environmental transport computations on computing grids. A Natural Coordinate System (NCS) is introduced to transform the two-dimensional environmental transport problem into a series of onedimensional advection systems coupled with transverse and longitudinal diffusion. Then appropriate numerical methods are deployed to solve the transport problem at larger timesteps. Two kinds of computing grids are used: one is a Sun 220R Enterprise Cluster and the other is a nondedicated network of PCs. The experiments demonstrate the high scalablity of the model performance. The authors argue that the combination of the usage of the NCS and suitable numerical schemes is the reason for the inherent scalability of this model.
