  The domain wall formulation of lattice fermions is expected to support
accurate chiral symmetry, even at finite lattice spacing. Here we attempt to
use this new fermion formulation to simulate two-flavor, finite temperature QCD
near the chiral phase transition. In this initial study, a variety of quark
masses, domain wall heights and domain wall separations are explored using an
8^3 x 4 lattice. Both the expectation value of the Wilson line and the chiral
condensate show the temperature dependence expected for the QCD phase
transition. Further, the desired chiral properties are seen for the chiral
condensate, suggesting that the domain wall fermion formulation may be an
effective approach for the numerical study of QCD at finite temperature.
