Cobalt: a parallel, implicit, unstructured Euler/Navier-Stokes solver

Abstract A parallel, implicit, unstructured Euler/Navier-Stokes solver has been developed that is accurate, robust and user-friendly. The parallel performance of the code is excellent, showing linear, and at times better than linear, scalability on the current parallel architectures. This, combined with the time savings afforded by the implicit algorithm, permits the routine analysis of large viscous problems on workstation-class processors.
