Abstract

The parallelization of numerical methods for the solution of initial value problems for large systems of differential algebraic equations (DAE’s) arising from the dynamic process simulation of chemical plants is considered. Due to a unit-oriented modeling the systems of DAE’s are structured into subsystems. By merging subsystems to blocks, block-structured Newton-type methods are used for their solution. These methods enable a coarse grained parallelization. Results from dynamic simulation runs for industrial distillation plants on parallel computers are given.
