Adapting a Navier-stokes code to the ICL-DAP

This is a report of the results of an experiment: to adapt a Navier-Stokes code, originally developed on a serial computer, to concurrent processing on the ICL Distributed Array Processor (DAP). In this paper the algorithm used in solving the Navier-Stokes equations is briefly described. The architecture of the DAP and DAP Fortran is also described. The modifications of the algorithm so as to fit the DAP are given and discussed. Finally, performance results are given and conclusions are drawn.
