Abstract: The system simulation of hypersonic vehicles was a multi-physics coupling process. It needed many iterations with large scale data to finish the simulation. To fix up the computational challenges, the distributed simulation was developed. But distributed simulation had no obvious effect on the computational efficiency. In order to enhance the computational efficiency, the grid parallel method and model parallel algorithm were studied based on the high performance cluster system. The parallel simulation method for fluid dynamics, data exchange method for partition boundary and load balance technology for parallel computing were developed and applied to the system simulation of hypersonic vehicles. The experimental results show that the high computational precision, high speed of solving equations and good effect of engineering application are achieved.
