Parallel processing with the Wind CFD code at Boeing

Abstract Wind is a general purpose CFD code capable of either Euler or Navier–Stokes analysis (R.H. Bush, A Three Dimensional Zonal Navier–Stokes Code for Subsonic through Hypersonic Propulsion Flowfields, AIAA 88-2380, 11 July 1998; R.H. Bush, G.D. Power, The Wind Production Flow Solver For the NPARC Alliance, AIAA 98-0935, 12 January 1998). The Wind code and its predecessor NASTD have been used for CFD applications, using its parallel mode, at Boeing since 1993. The Wind code is currently developed and distributed by the NPARC alliance.
