Synopsis

Unlock how high‑performance computing speeds up fluid simulations.

This book explains how researchers study parallel algorithms that describe incompressible flow coupled to an elastic membrane, using real experiments and practical models.

This edition guides you through the methods researchers use to predict efficiency, estimate serial and parallel complexities, and verify models with experimental data. It emphasizes how overhead, task spawning, and processor counts shape performance on large systems, while staying focused on concrete, testable results.

• How to model parallel efficiency and overhead in complex simulations.
• How researchers fit experimental data to understand serial and parallel costs.
• Several practical examples of predicting performance for 2‑D and 3‑D problems.
• What to consider when scaling simulations to many processors on large machines.

Ideal for readers of advanced computing and numerical methods who want a practical look at parallel algorithm performance and its impact on large-scale fluid–structure simulations.
