Methods and Experiences of Parallelizing Flood Models

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface (EuroPVM/MPI 2003)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2840))

Abstract

This paper focuses on parallelization process of DaveF, a new two-dimensional depth-averaged flow and sediment transport model that allows breach development and the resulting flood wave to be simulated simultaneously. Problems encountered during parallelization and techniques used to solve them are described. The experimental results with different input data on different machines are also included.
