Hi all,
I've been working on parallelization of a 3D FVM based CFD code running on a backward staggered grid with two ghost cells at the end of each direction. I use MPI for massage passing.

I wrote the boundary exchange subroutines, and I believe they are working fine. However, I have doubts about the necessity of solver based modifications. To be more clear, do I need to make changes to the solver, should I leave it as it is?

I have some experience with PVM and parallelization of Finite Difference based CFD code. I remember, we made no midifications to the solver, and it was working just fine. Though we were using LSODES, ROWMAP, etc. I don't know if they handle those things by themselves.

I would really deeply appreciate if could find a chance of communicating with experienced fellas.

Thanks

Ertan

If your code is fully explicit no solver modifications are needed.

Hi Ignat,

thanks for the reply. For the time being, I run the code fully explicitly, though I will have to get it running fully implicit and Crank-Nicholson as well. If you have experience in parallelization on overlapping staggered grid, and if you don't mind, may I ask you some questions about the data exchange at the boundaries. It seems the, with the way I do, mass is not conserved.

Or if you can suggest any source worth for reading, I will appreciate that too.

Thanks
