Parallel simulation of 3-D flow and transport models within the NOWESP project

摘要

In this paper, a short overview of project 3, "Advanced Flux Modelling", in the NOWESP project of the MAST II programme is given. The computational requirements of large scale 3-D flow and transport models of the North-West European Shelf are considered. The possibilities and implications of massively parallel processors for the simulation of these models are discussed. We also present some of the results and experience obtained in parallelising the shallow water flow and transport models within the NOWESP project.
