Abstract

Thanks to the recent development of computing technology, the various forms of high-performance computers are available. Among them, the parallel-clustering CPU machines are realized for the high performance computing. These supercomputers (cluster computers) can be applied to various industries due to the advantages of lower price. Especially in the field of numerical flow simulation, use of supercomputers can produce results quickly, and various engineering problems can be reviewed effectively case by case. In this paper, an application of supercomputers (cluster computers) were examined for railroad industry of fire flow simulation by using parallel computational method. It make sure that the supercomputers are very useful tools for railroad engineering.
