High performance computing (HPC) for the fluidization of particle-laden reactive flows

Abstract

The present paper shows the parallel computing performance (up to 4,096 cores) of a numerical solver for simulation of dense reactive multiphase reactive flow such as fluidized bed reactor. NEPTUNE_CFD V1.08 is a parallelized unstructured code solving unsteady Eulerian multi-fluid approach. The meshes have up to 38,000,000 cells. The simulations show an excellent scalability up to 2,536 cores
