This special issue is a collection of papers focusing on parallel computing methods for large-scale, 3D simulations in applied fluid mechanics. The class of problems targeted includes incompressible and compressible flows, supersonic and hypersonic flows, rarefied gas flows, reacting flows, and flows with moving boundaries and interfaces. The parallel computing methods described include spatial discretization techniques such as finite element methods, methods for complex geometries, mesh generation and adaptation techniques, space-time and semi-discrete formulations, stabilized numerical methods, direct simulation Monte Carlo methods, shallow water formulations, iterative solution techniques for large systems of coupled nonlinear equations, Krylov iterative solution techniques, domain decomposition methods, element-vector-based (matrix-free) residual evaluation techniques, and parallel implementations including those based on data-parallel and message-passing paradigms.
Among the applications reported are industrial problems, interior and exterior flows, surface water flows, aerodynamics problems, fluid-structure interactions, unsteady wake computations for circular cylinders, flow past a parafoil, and flow problems encountered in materials processing. Collectively, the papers in this special issue demonstrate that, with the kind of recent advances in parallel computing methods described here, flow simulation has become a powerful tool that can be used to address a large class of technological issues and applications involving fluid mechanics.
