Abstract
This paper presents a scalable and efficient parallelisation strategy for the explicit solution techniques applied to moving boundary problems in time-dependent free-surface flow simulation. The parallelisation approach is based on the geometric non-overlapping domain decomposition method. The main features of the investigation are the use of communicational kernels, suitable data structuring techniques for the computational kernels, the parallel programming model and a scalability matched to the problem size and to the computer power available.
