Development of a pressure based, unstructured, GPU accelerated CFD solver for compressible reacting flows at all MACH numbers

Abstract

CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics, tools have become an integral part of product design and analysis of gas turbines, rocket engines and thrusters. In order to model the chemical reacting flow in the combustion chambers, a CFD solver dealing with combustion of multi species reactions is developed. The solver must also be able to cope with the three flow regimes, subsonic, transonic and supersonic flow that occur in many flow problems. This is namely called a solver for all flow speeds. This solver also utilizes all resources of computers by being CPU parallel and GPU accelerated. A third party Open Source matrix solver ViennaCL is integrated to the Solver to solve linear system of equations. © ICCFD 2018.
