Abstract

This work is concerned with the development of a numerical technique to reduce the computation time for simulating radiative heat transfer. A parallel algorithm using the Parallel Virtual Machine software for data communication has been implemented to a finite-element based discrete ordinates code. Computations for different wavelength bands are performed in parallel. Performance experiments have been conducted by applying the parallel code to a non-gray three-dimensional participating media radiative heat transfer problem. Performance results obtained for a platform consists of networked workstations show promising speedup and efficiency.
