Solving the shallow water equations on the Cray X-MP/48 and the Connection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The shallow water equations in Cartesian coordinates and two dimensions are solved on the Connection Machine 2 (CM-2) using both the spectral and finite difference methods. A description of these implementations is presented together with a brief discussion of the CM-2 as it relates to these specific computations. The finite difference code was written both in C* and *LISP and the spectral code was written in *LISP. The performance of the codes is compared with a FORTRAN version that was optimized for the Cray X-MP/48.

PERFORMANCE OF THE SHALLOW WATER EQUATIONS ON THE CM-200 and CM-5 PARALLEL SUPERCOMPUTERS
We describe the implementation of a fluid dynamical benchmark on the 2048 vector node CM-200 parallel computer and on the 1024-node CM-5 computer. The benchmark, the Shallow Water Equations, is frequently used as a model for both oceanographic and atmospheric circulation. We describe the steps involved in implementing the algorithm on the two Thinking Machines Corporation computers and we provi...
متن کاملDomain decomposition and parallel processing of a finite element model of the shallow water equations
We present nonoverlapping domain decomposition techniques applied to a two-stage NumerovGalerkin finite element model of the shallow water equations over a limited-area domain. The Schur complement matrix formulation is employed and a modified interface matrix approach is proposed to handle the coupling between subdomains. The resulting nonsymmetric Schur complement matrices, modified interface...

The focus of this paper is on a parallel algorithm for solving the transport equations in a slab geometry using multigrid. The spatial discretization scheme used is a nite element method called Modiied Linear Discontinuous scheme (MLD). The MLD scheme represents a lumped version of the standard Linear Discontinuous scheme (LD). The parallel algorithm was implemented on the Connection Machine 2 ...

Wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. In this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the standard turbulence closure model. This study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...
