Abstract

In this paper, we will report our recent effort to apply the parareal algorithm to the time parallelization of an industrial code that simulates two phase flows in a reactor for safety studies. This software solves the six equation two-fluid model by considering a set of balance laws (mass, momentum and energy) for each phase, liquid and vapor, of the fluid. The discretization is based on a finite volume method on a staggered grid in space and on a multistep time scheme. Here, we apply a variant of the parareal algorithm on an oscillating manometer test case: the multistep variant allowing to deal with multistep time schemes in the coarse and/or fine propagators. Numerical results show that parareal methods offer the potential for an increased level of parallelism and is a good strategy to complement the current space domain decomposition implemented in the code.
