High-Performance Computing: Fundamental Problems in Industrial Applications

There are currently some fundamental problems which are a real obstacle for effective high performance computing, especially in industrial applications. These also concern the use of commercial programs. These problems are connected mainly with advanced computer algorithms and special program tools. The following subjects are discussed in this chapter: original kinetic schemes for numerical simulation of continuum mechanics; dynamic load balancing; problems of visualization of large scientific data in high performance computers; unstructured mesh generation, etc. Some results of numerical simulations of aeroacoustic problems, combustion phenomena, oil recovery and nanoelectronics are presented.
