Parallel processing has made large-scale computational fluid dynamics modeling viable on a commercial scale by abbreviating the time taken to design products and systems. Computer simulations of design problems ranging from engine cooling to environmental air currents are reaching a speed and scale that were impossible to achieve as early as roughly 1994 unless highly expensive and advanced supercomputers were used.

Parallel processing is bringing CFD closer to the fluids of the re...

Going with the flow.(parallel processing facilitates computer simulations for engineering design)
Mechanical Engineering-CIME ; Parallel processing is bringing CFD closer to the fluids of the real world. Simulations of problems ranging from engine cooling to environmental air currents are reaching a speed and scale that only a few years ago would have been out of reach for anything less than the most advanced, and
