Abstract: Parallel calculational methods were used to analyze incorrpressible turbulent flow through hydrauli c
machinery. Two parallel methods were used to si mulate the complex flow fi e1d. The space decorrposition
method divides the computational dorrain into several sub-ranges. Parall eI discrete event simulation divides
the whole task into several parts according to their functi ons. The simulation results were corrpared with the
serial simulation results and parti cle image velocimetry (PIV) experimental results. The results give the
distribution and configuration of the complex vortices and illustrate the effectiveness of the parallel algorithms
for numerical simulation of turbulent flows.
