Abstract

In this paper we deal with the numerical simulation of three-dimensional thermal convection on SIMD computers. Applying a pressure correction method in combination with preconditioned conjugate gradient methods to the underlying nonlinear system of partial differential equations we obtain a highly parallel algorithm for the considered type of problems. Numerical experiments on an array processor illustrate the capabilities of the proposed algorithm.
