Abstract
We describe some algorithms and software components that allow us to solve on parallel computers classical test cases for unsteady incompressible 3D N avier-Stokes equations. Our main focus is the design of robust and efficien t parallel solvers for systems with singularly perturbed convection-reactio n-diffusion and Laplace operators, which are important constituents of the Navier-Stokes solvers. The performance of the solvers on two parallel compu ters is examined. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
