Abstract

This paper researched and developed a numerical simulation system of combustion flow on multi-core cluster systems and then a low-speed combustion solver was designed based on turbulent combustion model. In order to test the system and the solver, H2/O2 premixed combustion case was simulated using the solver. The simulation result indicated that this numerical simulation system was feasible and the low-speed combustion solver was highly accurate. At the same time, the computing time can be accelerated compared to sequential computing after using parallel computing technology.
