Toward Parallel, Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Chemically Reacting Flow Simulations1

چکیده
Adaptive numerical methods offer greater efficiency than traditional numerical methods by concentrating computational effort in regions of the problem domain where the solution is difficult to obtain. In this paper, we describe progress toward adding mesh refinement to MPSalsa, a computer program developed at Sandia National Laboratories to solve coupled three-dimensional fluid flow and detailed reaction chemistry systems for modeling chemically reacting flow on large-scale parallel computers. Data structures that support refinement and dynamic load-balancing are discussed. Results using uniform refinement with mesh sequencing to improve convergence to steady-state solutions are also presented.

A high-order low-Mach number AMR construction for chemically reacting flows
A high-order projection scheme was developed for the study of chemically reacting flows in the lowMach number limit. The numerical approach for the momentum transport uses a combination of cell-centered/cell-averaged discretizations to achieve a fourth-order formulation for the pressure projection algorithm. This scheme is coupled with a second-order in time operator-split stiff approach for th...
متن کاملParallel Computing for Reacting Flows Using Adaptive Grid Refinement
The paper reports on the parallelisation of the computational code for modelling turbulent combustion in large industrial 3D glass melting furnaces. Domain decomposition is used to perform the parallelisation. Performance optimisation is examined, to both speed up the code as well as to improve convergence. Local grid refinement is discussed using several different refinement criteria. The nume...
متن کاملA second-order coupled immersed boundary-SAMR construction for chemically reacting flow over a heat-conducting Cartesian grid-conforming solid
In this paper, we present a second-order numerical method for simulations of reacting flow around heat-conducting immersed solid objects. The method is coupled with a block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR) framework and a low-Mach number operator-split projection algorithm. A “buffer zone” methodology is introduced to impose the solid-fluid boundary conditions such that the solver use...
متن کاملAMR + + : Object - Oriented Parallel Adaptive Mesh Refinement
Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) computations are complicated by their dynamic nature. The development of solvers for realistic applications is complicated by both the complexity of the AMR and the geometry of realistic problem domains. The additional complexity of distributed memory parallelism within such AMR applications most commonly exceeds the level of complexity that can be reasonable main...
متن کاملA computational facility for reacting flow science
We discuss recent developments in the application of high-order adaptive mesh refinement constructions in reacting flow computations. We present results pertaining to the time integration of coupled diffusive-convective terms in this context using a stabilized explicit Runge-Kutta-Chebyshev scheme. We also discuss chemical model reduction strategies, with a focus on the utilization of computati...
