Parallizing 1-dimensional estuarine model

Abstract

Wave simulation is an important problem in engineering. Wave simulation models play a significant role in environment protection. Thus far wave simulations have been mostly done in serial. In order to meet the demand for increased spatial and temporal resolution and uncertainty analysis in environmental models for ecological assessment and water resources management, it is essential to develop high-performance hydrodynamics and water quality models using parallel techniques. In this paper, we propose algorithms for parallelizing 1-dimensional estuarine models. We have implemented these algorithms using PVM. Our experiments show that these algorithms are efficient and the performance of the parallel estuarine model is excellent.
