Introduction

We implement the discrete vortex method in FORTRAN with MPI message passing. This method is used to simulate the motion of discrete vortices. Two codes are developed and tested. In one the computation is distributed, but all data is available in all nodes. In the other each node only contains part of the data. We will present results from the simulation of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
