This paper presents a prototype application of a collaborative computational steering system for interactive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. One or more visualization clients allow the user to interact with the concurrently running CFD simulation. To provide interactivity even for high resolution runs the parallel Lattice Boltzmann-based simulation kernel is performed on a high performance computer (HPC), e.g. the Hitachi SR8000 of the LRZ (Leibniz Computing Center) Munich. This kind of online simulation tool enables engineers to investigate and discuss several case studies interactively to obtain an intuitive understanding of detailed calculations.
