Abstract
The large-scale direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics (MHD) turbulent heat transfer have been executed on the massively parallel processing supercomputer systems. The maximum computational speed was measured up 4.35 Tflops and the sufficiently parallelization efficiency was achieved. It has been confirmed that present DNSs have the sufficient spatial resolution. Definitely, we can succeed to establish the DNS data of MHD heat transfer under the high-Reynolds (Re = 14,000) and high-Prandlt number conditions (Pr = 25).
