Summary

To implement the characteristic curve method, a global-wise element information is required to determine the position of one particle in some time step, however, in the parallel domain decomposition system, the whole domain is split into several "parts" and one processor element (PE) only contains the element information of the current "part". For each "part", a domain decomposition is performed by the current PE and that is to say, the "part" is further divided into many subdomains; another difficulty lies in the fact that during the computation, the particle is not limited within one "part", therefore, exchanging the data between different PEs is also necessary, which requires the processor elements to communicate during the subdomain-wise computation.

In this research, a new algorithm to perform the parallel computation is developed; without increasing the computation complexity, this method reduces the memory consumption and the algorithm is thus enabled to solve large scale problems of over 10 million degrees of freedom (DOF).
