The computation of unsteady external aerodynamics and internal chemically reacting flows are of significant importance to a wide range of industrial disciplines. Many of the current solution techniques can be mapped onto the available range of parallel hardware. However, differences in computer hardware, e.g. distributed memory or shared memory, limited the range of architectures the codes will run on. Results for both internal and external flows using implicit and explicit techniques developed within a portable message passing harness are presented. The codes are typical of those encountered in CFD and they can be run on distributed memory machines and shared memory machines with no modifications to the grid allocation strategy. Parallel efficiencies on an Intel i860 64 node hypercube, a 32 node Kendal Square KSR-1 and a range of networked workstations are discussed.
