Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics 2008 - Parallel Numerical Methods, Software Development and Applications (Hardcover, Edition.)

Parallel CFD 2008, the twentieth in the high-level international series of meetings featuring different aspect of parallel computing in computational?uid dynamics and other modern scienti?c domains was held May 19?22, 2008 in Lyon, France. The themes of the 2008 meeting included the traditional emphases of this c- ference, and experiences with contemporary architectures. Around 70 presentations were included into the conference program in the following sessions: Parallel Algorithms and solvers Parallel performances with contemporary architectures Structured and unstructured grid methods, boundary methods software framework and components architecture CFD applications(Bio ?uid, environmentalproblem)Lattice Boltzmannmethodand SPH Optimisation in Aerodynamics This book presents an up-to-date overviewof the state of the art in Parallel C- putational Fluid Dynamics from Asia, Europe, and North America. This reviewed proceedingsincluded about sixty percent of the oral lectures presented at the conf- ence. The editors.
