Progress in high-performance computing in water science

In consideration of the increasing demands for refined simulation and high-performance computing(HPC) in water science,an introduction was given to the hardware and software for HPC and their applications in water science,with emphasis placed on the progresses in parallel finite element method and the parallel boundary element method as well as the latest development of grid computing.It is pointed out that grid computing is the new trend of HPC development,and it should be adopted to promote the further development of water science.
