摘要
A parallel implementation of a finite volume method for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations on a distributed computing environment through Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) is reported. The numerical method is implicit and is based on the SIMPLE algorithm in which the system of equations is discretised using a hybrid scheme. An Alternative Direction Implicit (ADI) scheme, and the Thomas tri-diagonal solver are used to solve the algebraic equations. The parallelization of the program is implemented by a domain decomposition strategy on MIMD parallel architectures using PVM platform. The program was tested for laminar flow in a cavity. The parallelisation strategy and performance are discussed. It is concluded that the efficiency is strongly dependent on the grid size, block numbers and the number of processors. Different strategies to improve the computational efficiency are proposed.
