As part of the strategy, the three national supercomputing centres HLRS (Stuttgart), NIC/JSC (Julic ̈ h) and LRZ (Munich) have formed the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) as a new virtual organization enabled by an agreement between the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the state ministries for research of Baden-Wurttem ̈ berg, Bayern, and Nordrhein-Westfalen. Already today, the GCS provides the most powerful high-performance computing - frastructure in Europe. Through GCS, HLRS participates in the European project PRACE (Partnership for Advances Computing in Europe) and - tends its reach to all European member countries. These activities aligns well with the activities of HLRS in the European HPC infrastructure project DEISA (Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Appli- tions) and in the European HPC support project HPC-Europa. Beyond that, HLRS and its partners in the GCS have agreed on a common strategy for the installation of the next generation of leading edge HPC hardware over the next ?ve years. The University of Stuttgart and the University of Karlsruhe have furth- more agreed to bundle their competences and resources.

Book Hybrid Finite volume transported PDF Method for the Simulation of Turbulent Reactive Flows

Download or read book Hybrid Finite volume transported PDF Method for the Simulation of Turbulent Reactive Flows written by Venkatramanan Raman and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel computational scheme is formulated for simulating turbulent reactive flows in complex geometries with detailed chemical kinetics. A Probability Density Function (PDF) based method that handles the scalar transport equation is coupled with an existing Finite-Volume (FV) Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) flow solver. The PDF formulation leads to closed chemical source terms and facilitates the use of detailed chemical mechanisms without approximations. The particle-based PDF scheme is modified to handle complex geometries and grid structures. Grid-independent particle evolution schemes that scale linearly with the problem size are implemented in the Monte-Carlo PDF solver. A novel algorithm, in situ adaptive tabulation (ISAT) is employed to ensure tractability of complex chemistry involving a multitude of species. Several non-reacting test cases are performed to ascertain the efficiency and accuracy of the method. Simulation results from a turbulent jet-diffusion flame case are compared against experimental data. The effect of micromixing model, turbulence model and reaction scheme on flame predictions are discussed extensively. Finally, the method is used to analyze the Dow chlorination reactor. Detailed kinetics involving 37 species and 152 reactions as well as a reduced form with 16 species and 21 reactions are used. The effect of inlet configuration on reactor behavior and product distribution is analyzed. Plant-scale reactors exhibit quenching phenomena that cannot be reproduced by conventional simulation methods. The FV-PDF method predicts quenching accurately and provides insight into the dynamics of the reactor near extinction. The accuracy of the fractional time-stepping technique is discussed in the context of apparent multiple-steady states observed in a non-premixed feed configuration of the chlorination reactor.

Book Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows

Download or read book Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows written by Stefan Heinz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simulation of technological and environmental flows is very important for many industrial developments. A major challenge related to their modeling is to involve the characteristic turbulence that appears in most of these flows. The traditional way to tackle this question is to use deterministic equations where the effects of turbulence are directly parametrized, i. e. , assumed as functions of the variables considered. However, this approach often becomes problematic, in particular if reacting flows have to be simulated. In many cases, it turns out that appropriate approximations for the closure of deterministic equations are simply unavailable. The alternative to the traditional way of modeling turbulence is to construct stochastic models which explain the random nature of turbulence. The application of such models is very attractive: one can overcome the closure problems that are inherent to deterministic methods on the basis of relatively simple and physically consistent models. Thus, from a general point of view, the use of stochastic methods for turbulence simulations seems to be the optimal way to solve most of the problems related to industrial flow simulations. However, it turns out that this is not as simple as it looks at first glance. The first question concerns the numerical solution of stochastic equations for flows of environmental and technological interest. To calculate industrial flows, 3 one often has to consider a number of grid cells that is of the order of 100 .

Book Stochastic Methods in Fluid Mechanics

Download or read book Stochastic Methods in Fluid Mechanics written by Sergio Chibbaro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their first introduction in natural sciences through the work of Einstein on Brownian motion in 1905 and further works, in particular by Langevin, Smoluchowski and others, stochastic processes have been used in several areas of science and technology. For example, they have been applied in chemical studies, or in fluid turbulence and for combustion and reactive flows. The articles in this book provide a general and unified framework in which stochastic processes are presented as modeling tools for various issues in engineering, physics and chemistry, with particular focus on fluid mechanics and notably dispersed two-phase flows. The aim is to develop what can referred to as stochastic modeling for a whole range of applications.

Book Advances in Particle finite Volume Algorithms for Turbulent Reactive Flows

Download or read book Advances in Particle finite Volume Algorithms for Turbulent Reactive Flows written by Pavel Petkov Popov and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the field of turbulent reactive flow simulations, hybrid particle/finite volume large eddy simulation/probability density function (LES/PDF) methods have been shown to be highly accurate in simulating laboratory-scale flames. Their strengths lie in the combination of the large eddy simulation procedure's ability to resolve the large, non-universal scales of turbulence, combined with the fact that probability density function models for turbulent combustion require no closure for the highly non-linear chemistry source term. This work presents advances in such hybrid particle/finite volume LES/PDF algorithms for turbulent reactive flows. New time stepping, interpolation, and coupling schemes have been proposed with the goal of reducing particle mass consistency (PMC) error (defined as the discrepancy between particle mass density and resolved finite volume density) and overall simulation error. The Multi-step Second-order Runge-Kutta (MRK2) integration scheme is an ODE integration scheme designed for reducing PMC errors when applied to discontinuous velocity fields. When applied to a discontinuous velocity field such as might be produced by a state-of-the art velocity interpolation scheme, MRK2 preserves the continuity of the Lagrangian position mapping and is second-order convergent in time, as opposed to a standard second-order Runge-Kutta scheme, which is only first-order convergent in time when applied to a discontinuous velocity field. The Direct Richardson p-th order (DRp) is a conceptually new family of SDE integration schemes which are weakly p-th order accurate in time, where p is an arbitrary positive integer. Unlike standard SDE integration schemes, which are based on matching appropriate terms in the Ito-Taylor expansion of the stochastic process, the DRp schemes work via Richardson extrapolation between the probability density functions of a set of first-order accurate Euler approximations with differing time steps. In the context of the Large Eddy Simulation/Probability Density Function (LES/PDF) code developed by the Turbulence and Combustion Group at Cornell University, a PDF to LES density coupling scheme via a transported specific volume (TSV) has been developed. While coupling approaches similar to TSV have been used previously in LES/PDF application, the present implementation is the first to allow overall second-order accuracy of the LES/PDF code in space and time. New implicit and explicit schemes for PMC error reduction schemes have been developed and tested in the context of the Sandia-Sydney bluff-body flame. Implicit PMC preservation schemes include new velocity and diffusivity interpolation algorithms, and explicit PMC error correction is achieved via a corrective velocity. While corrective velocity schemes have been used previously, the present algorithm, featuring a smoothed version of the PMC error field, is capable of maintaining the same PMC error levels with a corrective velocity of lower magnitude. Finally, the LES/PDF algorithm, developed by the Turbulence and Combustion group at Cornell, is applied to the Sandia-Sydney bluff-body flames. Comparison is made with experimental data, and the new code is in better agreement with experiment than previous simulations of the same series of flames.
