Abstract
This paper describes a parallelization method for the numerical simulation of 3D incompressible viscous flow in a cylindrical domain. Implementation details are discussed for efficient parallelization on distributed memory computers with relatively slow communication links. The developed parallel code is used for the performance evaluation of several computers of different architectures, with the number of processors used from 1 to 16. The obtained results are compared to the measured computational and communication characteristics of these computers.
