Abstract. The paper describes how one can use commodity graphics cards (GPUs) as a high-performance parallel computer to simulate the dynamics of ideal gases in two and three spatial dimensions. The dynamics is described by the Euler equations, and numerical approximations are computed using state-of-the-art high-resolution finite-volume schemes. These schemes are based upon an explicit time discretisation and are therefore ideal candidates for parallel implementation.
A simulation of the dynamics of ideal gases in two and three dimensions using the Euler equations on the GPU was described in REF .
