Abstract
An adaptive 2D multiblock Euler/Navier-Stokes solver has been parallelised using the LOCO software library which performs automatic load-balancing at run-time by an appropriate distribution of the blocks onto the processors of the parallel computer. We describe our experience in porting the solver onto a Unix workstation cluster environment equipped with the Parallel Virtual Machine communication software.
