Abstract

The Grid is a communication service that collaborates dispersed highperformance computers so that those can be shared and worked together. It enablesthe analysis of large-scale problem with the reduction of computation time bycollaborating high performance computing resources in dispersed organizations. Thus,the present paper focuses on the efficient flow calculation using the Grid. To increaseparallel efficiency, a simple load balance algorithm for the Grid computing is proposedand applied to various aerodynamic problems.
