摘要
Parallel finite element method for the analysis of quasi-three dimensional shallow water flow is presented. The mode splitting technique and the sigma coordinate (generalized coordinate) are employed to use parallel computers effectively. Parallel implementation of the unstructured grid-based formulation is carried out on the Hitachi parallel-super computer SR2201. The tidal flow of Tokyo Bay is simulated for a numerical example. The speed-up ratio and the efficiency of the parallelization are investigated. The present method is shown to be a useful and powerful tool for the large scale computation of shallow water flows.
