Development of a meta-computing infrastructure for parallel coupled simulations

The numerical methods and computational hardware of today allow for studies on multi-disciplinary simulations. We have been developing an "integrated numerical simulation system" to solve coupled simulation problems under meta-computing environments. The system aims to construct a competent coupler for carrying out multi-disciplinary simulations by allowing concurrent execution of arbitrary simulation codes on different computers in parallel. The effectiveness of this system infrastructure is illustrated through its applications to fluid-structure interactive problems.
