Iteration and Parallel Computation on Computational Fluid Dynamics

With the rapid development and popularization of CFD technology, requirements on data amount and computing speed have also increased a lot. The computing ability of single CPU is unable to meet the requirement. Therefore, iteration and parallel computation are the most important methods for CFD problems with large grid scales. This paper introduces the most popular iteration methods, classical iteration methods and their parallel computation strategies. On the basis of it, the parallel computing simulation environment is also constructed. It comprehensively applies symmetric multi-processing and distributed technologies and Windows XP 64 bit system. Research on CFD has focus on the parallel computation, which can meet the practical demand for computer capacity and computing time.
