Abstract. The focus of this study is on the optimal use of high performance computing in the area of environmental security (air pollution transport, in particular). Contemporary mathematical models of air pollution transport should include a fairly large set of chemical and photochemical reactions to be established as a reliable simulation tool. The investigations and the numerical results reported in this paper have been obtained by using a large-scale mathematical model called the Danish Eulerian Model (DEM).
