Massively parallel computer systems are gaining wider acceptance in science and technology, with major computer companies entering the market. This is a clear sign that parallel computing is becoming a mature field. However, this rapid development in hardware must be matched by software, in particular for industrial computations. The research papers presented in this book cover many aspects of parallel computational fluid dynamics. Practical algorithms, simulation methods and numerical applications are tested and evaluated for the present range of supercomputer architectures.
