Implementation of a three-dimensional Navier-Stokes code on the Symult Series 2010

The results of implementing a Navier-Stokes flow solver on the Symult Systems Series 2010 parallel processor are presented. The code solves the three-dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics for flow past arbitrary bodies, using an explicit finite-volume multi-stage Runge-Kutta time-stepping scheme. The implementation strategy on the Series 2010 parallel processor is discussed, and code-conversion issues such as domain decomposition and boundary condition implementation are high-lighted. The performance of the code is evaluated by calculating the transonic laminar viscous flow over a wing.
