Parallel KIVA-4 is described and simulated in four different engine geometries. The Message Passing-Interface (MPl) was used to parallelize KIVA-4. Par itioning strategies ar accesed in light of the fact that cells can become deactivated and activated during the course of an engine simulation which will affect the load balance between processors.
