Summary

PASTIS-3D (Projection Algorithm Solver for Time-dependent Incompressible flow Simulations in 3 Dimensions) is a computer program for the solution of the incompressible time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations. It uses the implicit projection-2 algorithm [9], which is 2nd order accurate [16] for the velocities. It works with a data parallel variant of the conjugate gradient method [13], [10] to run efficiently on parallel systems such as workstation clusters and the IBM Scalable POWERparallel Systems (9076 SPx). The parallel data structure is familiar from domain decomposition. But, we use a parallel implementation of a sequential algorithm and hence obtain the desired sequential results.
