Abstract

Many problems in Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) require millions of grid cells to properly represent the physics. Advances in parallel computing, both in hardware and software, make it feasible to solve such large scale simulations in a timely manner. The objective of this paper is to describe some of the recent work at Rockwell in performing parallel computing for providing quick-turnaround solutions to problems in CFD, CEM and other computational disciplines.
