Investigation on the Parallel Computing Technique Using on the Numerical Simulation of Carbon Free Fuel

The numerical simulation of the turbulent combustion is identified as one of the most promising methods on the designs of the combustion devices, for example: the internal combustion engine and gas turbine. This mainly depends on the development of parallel computing technique. However, the computational efficiency for different cases on different compute nodes and number of cores still needs to be studied. On the other hand, due to the requirements from the aim of peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060, modern energy system is requesting low carbon or carbon free fuels, such as ammonia (NH3). Therefore, the simulations of ammonia/air flame were performed in present investigation. The comparison between simulation cases on different compute nodes and number of cores illustrates that different cases requires different number of cores to achieve the best computational efficiency. The computational efficiency of each compute nodes are dissimilar, which can decrease the efficiency. Meanwhile, the methods in present study can predict the ammonia/air flames. The initial condition of velocity fluctuation is necessary for simulating turbulent flame. The wrinkles of the flames can be well predicted by the velocity fluctuation initial boundary condition.
