Abstract
In this work, we review the status of numerical methods used for solution of partial differential equations, describing heat and mass transfer and a strong exothermic reaction, using vector computers. A discussion of relevant aspects of simulation such as generating adaptive meshes and integrating stiff differential equations is included. The goal of the paper is to illustrate attractive ways of modeling combustion problems on a supercomputer. Four examples, “solid-solid” combustion, “gas-gas” combustion, exothermic reaction with gas filtration and free convection with exothermic reaction, are presented.
