Parallel computation has shown to provide considerable potential for the numerical simulation of complex three-dimensional flows. A number of studies have shown that CFD codes can be parallelized for efficient use on present-day parallel computer systems. However, of particular importance for industrial applications is the total time to solution, comprised not only of the resolution of the flow equations but also the pre- and post-processing phases. Results are presented of a study of the use of high-performance parallel computing to facilitate such numerical simulations. This study is being undertaken using a 256-processor Cray T3D system, within the framework of the joint Cray Research-EPFL Parallel Application Technology Program.
