Abstract

Numerical solution of any large, three-dimensional fluid flow problem is a computationally intensive task that typically requires supercomputer solution to achieve reasonable execution time. This paper describes an alternative approach, a technique for mapping three-dimensional fluid flow models to low-cost, desktop hardware. The approach is shown to deliver exceptional performance.
