The achieved speedup of calculations equals 60 for the one-dimensional and 300for the two-dimensional problem compared to the single-processor computer. The fields of flow and temperature were investigated depending on the problem parameters. The necessity of using the detailed grid in both directions to resolve the thin boundary layers and fronts (104 grid nodes for the Reynolds number equal to 105) is shown. %8 2010-11-24
