Abstract
A parallel code for the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of reactive flows using detailed chemical kinetics and multicomponent molecular transport is presented. This code has been used as a benchmark on several commodity hardware clusters including two large systems with current state-of-the-art processor and network technologies, i. e. up to 180 Alpha EV68 833MHz and up to 400 AthlonMP 1.4GHz CPUs have been used, which are arranged in dual-nodes with Myrinet-2000 interconnect in both cases. The other part of the paper presents the results of an investigation of flames evolving after induced ignition of a premixed mixture under turbulent conditions.
