Abstract

This paper describes the numerical method of solution of 3D Navier-Stokes equations in a regular domain and direct method of parallelization of solution for distributed-memory computers. A vorticityvector -potential formulation and Finite Difference method of solution are chosen, using fractional step ADI method for vorticity equation and Fourier method for Poisson equation. Special attention is paid to singleprocessor optimization of the algorithm. Parallelization technology is given in detail, with speedup and efficiency levels achieved for 2 and 4 processors. Numerical results are presented for different geometries and Reynolds numbers.
