This book contains the course notes of the Summerschool on High Per
formance Com; ting in Fluid Dynamics, held at the Delft University of
Technology, June 24-28, 1996, under the auspices of and with support of
ERCOFTAC (European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and
Combustion, WWW: http: //imhefwww.epfl.ch/lmf/ERCOFTAC) and the J.M.
Burgers Center (Graduate School for Fluid Dynamics, The Nether lands,
WWW: http: //tnj.phys.tue.nl/fdl/Burgers.html). In addition to the
material presented in the present volume, lectures were given by J.
Hauser on "A parallel Newton-GMRES method for the 3D N avier-Stokes
equations in complex geometries." The material written down by F.-S.
Lien was presented by M.A. Leschziner. This book is addressed to
students on a graduate level and researchers in industry engaged in
scientific computing, who have little or no experience with high
performance computing, but who want to learn more, and/or want to port
their code to parallel platforms. Applications in computa tional fluid
dynamics are emphasized."
