In order to analyse how heat and mass transfer in a thermal environment, heat and mass transfer simulation is needed. However, it is too much time-consuming to obtain numerical solutions to heat and mass transfer equations. Therefore, in this paper, one of acceleration techniques developed in the graphics community that exploits a graphics processing unit (GPU) is applied to the numerical solutions of heat and mass transfer equations.
