AbstractAutoignition in turbulent flows is a challenging fundamental problem due tothe intricate coupling of different physical and chemical processes extending overmultiple flow and chemistry scales. At the same time, the improved understandingand ability to predict autoignition in flows characterized by considerable fluctuationsof velocity, composition, and temperature is essential for the development ofnovel low-emission concepts for power generation. The aim of this project is tostudy the fundamental aspects of autoignition in a fuel-air mixing device directlyapplicable to mixing ducts in gas turbines. The NEK5000-based code for low Machnumber reactive flows is used to perform very large scale direct numerical simulationsof autoignition of a diluted hydrogen jet ejected in a cross-flowing streamof hot turbulent air in a laboratory-scale configuration. We report on our experiencerunning NEK5000 on the new BGQ system at ALCF mira during the earlyscience period (ESP). First of all, the most efficient problem size per MPI-rank isobtained through core-level efficiency metric measured from the target simulation.Furthermore, the most efficient number of ranks is found through strong scaling experiments.Finally, low-level insight into the observed parallel efficiency is enabledthrough IBM’s HPC Toolkit libraries.
