The simulation of computational fluid dynamics problems in two and more dimensions involves computations of multiple degrees of freedom, such as the components of velocity, which are an obvious source of parallelism. Further to our previous investigation in this area, we report on our current experiences in extracting such parallelism on a distributed network platform. A finite element method for simulating incompressible viscous flows is parallelised using a domain decomposition approach. Various issues that arise in this implementation are discussed in the light of our experimental results.
