Daniel T. Graves, Phillip Colella, David Modiano, Jeffrey Johnson, Bjorn Sjogreen, Xinfeng Gao, "A Cartesian Grid Embedded Boundary Method for the Compressible Navier Stokes Equations", Communications in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, December 23, 2013,

In this paper, we present an unsplit method for the time-dependent
  compressible Navier-Stokes equations in two and three dimensions.
  We use a a conservative, second-order Godunov algorithm.
  We use a Cartesian grid, embedded boundary method to resolve complex
  boundaries.  We solve for viscous and conductive terms with a
  second-order semi-implicit algorithm.  We demonstrate second-order
  accuracy in solutions of smooth problems in smooth geometries and
  demonstrate robust behavior for strongly discontinuous initial
  conditions in complex geometries.

We describe the rationale behind the design of key features of Titanium — an explicitly parallel dialect of JavaTM for high-performance scientific programming — and our experiences in building applications with the language. Specifically, we address Titanium’s Partitioned Global Address Space model, SPMD parallelism support, multi-dimensional arrays and array-index calculus, memory management, immutable classes (class-like types that are value types rather than reference types), operator overloading, and generic programming. We provide an overview of the Titanium compiler implementation, covering various parallel analyses and optimizations, Titanium runtime technology and the GASNet network communication layer. We summarize results and lessons learned from implementing the NAS parallel benchmarks, elliptic and hyperbolic solvers using Adaptive Mesh Refinement, and several applications of the Immersed Boundary method.

Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages combine the programming convenience of shared memory with the locality and performance control of message passing. One such language, Unified Parallel C (UPC) is an extension of ISO C defined by a consortium that boasts multiple proprietary and open source compilers. Another PGAS language, Titanium, is a dialect of Java T M designed for high performance scientific computation. In this paper we describe some of the highlights of two related projects, the Titanium project centered at U.C. Berkeley and the UPC project centered at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Both compilers use a source-to-source strategy that translates the parallel languages to C with calls to a communication layer called GASNet. The result is portable high-performance compilers that run on a large variety of shared and distributed memory multiprocessors. Both projects combine compiler, runtime, and application efforts to demonstrate some of the performance and productivity advantages to these languages.

We present a second-order accurate projection method to solve the
  incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on irregular domains in two
  and three dimensions.  We use a finite-volume discretization
  obtained from intersecting the irregular domain boundary with a
  Cartesian grid.  We address the small-cell stability problem
  associated with such methods by hybridizing a conservative
  discretization of the advective terms with a stable, nonconservative
  discretization at irregular control volumes, and redistributing the
  difference to nearby cells.  Our projection is based upon a
  finite-volume discretization of Poisson's equation.  We use a
  second-order, $L^\infty$-stable algorithm to advance in time.  Block
  structured local refinement is applied in space.  The resulting
  method is second-order accurate in $L^1$ for smooth problems.  We
  demonstrate the method on benchmark problems for flow past a
  cylinder in 2D and a sphere in 3D as well as flows in 3D geometries
  obtained from image data.
