The authors report on work devising massively parallel implementations of vortex methods for computing turbulent flow in highly complex geometries. In this paper, they discuss the challenges involved in fitting evolving compilers, hardware, and I/O to non-traditional fluid mechanics techniques, N-body solvers, and interactive real-time visualization environments. Their results describe algorithms to compute two and three-dimensional inside chambers and around bluff bodies. As conclusions, they discuss some issues involved in developing intuition about parallel implementation of complex codes.
