چکیده

Numerical simulations of groundwater flow and chemical transport through three-dimensional heterogeneous porous media are described. The authors employ two CRAY supercomputers for different parts of the decoupled calculation: the flow field is computed on the T3D massively parallel computer, and the contaminant migration is simulated on the C90 vector supercomputer. The authors compare simulation results for subsurface models based on homogeneous and heterogeneous conceptual models and find that the heterogeneities have a profound impact on the character of contaminant migration.

Atmosperic Data Assimilation on Distributed-Memory Parallel Supercomputers

Atmospheric data such as temperature, moisture, winds, etc., collected by satellites and direct measuements from upper-air instruments, ground observation stations provide only partial information about the atmosphere. They are assimilated to numerical forecasts to provide a coherent, evolving state of the global atmosphere. The data analysis system, the Physical-space Statistical Analysis Syst...

Fast Parallel Algorithms for Short–Range Molecular Dynamics

Three parallel algorithms for classical molecular dynamics are presented. The first assigns each processor a fixed subset of atoms; the second assigns each a fixed subset of inter–atomic forces to compute; the third assigns each a fixed spatial region. The algorithms are suitable for molecular dynamics models which can be difficult to parallelize efficiently — those with short–range forces wher...

Parallel Computation of Turbulent Combustion Processes on Individually Discretized Domains

The aim of this work is the parallel solution of large 3D-CFD problems concerning the numerical description of turbulent combustion and pollutant formation processes in coal-fired utility boilers. The in-house developed multi-domain CFD code AIOLOS for quasi-stationary, weakly compressible, turbulent reacting flows is used. The code is based on a conservative finite-volume formulation with a co...
