This is the second in a series of reports pertaining to progress in the Advanced Software Development and Commercialization Project, a collaborative effort between the Center for Supercomputing Research and Development of the University of Illinois and the Computing and Telecommunications Divisions of Argonne National Laboratory. The purpose of this work is to apply techniques of parallel computing many of which were pioneered by University of Illinois researchers to mature computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural dynamics (SC) computer codes developed at Argonne. The collaboration in this project brings this unique combination of expertise to bear, for the first time, on industrially important problems. By so doing, it will expose the strengths and weaknesses of existing techniques for parallelizing programs and will identify those problems that need to be solved in order to enable widespread production use of parallel computers. Secondly, the increased efficiency of the CFD and SD codes themselves will enable the simulation of larger, more accurate engineering models that involve fluid and structural dynamics. Such an enhanced capability is fundamental to industrial efficiency and competitiveness, and could serve as an exemplary model for similar future activities. 21 refs, 5 figs., 31 tabs.
