Hello, A new project on the LCRC cluster has been requested. Please forward the information on to the LCRC Allocation sub-committee. Applicant's name: Ramesh Balakrishnan Applicant's institution: ANL Applicant's division: LCF Project Name: Aurora Project title: Assessing the performance of CFD codes on multicore computing platforms Associated funding: Other Systems: Blue Gene/P (at ALCF) Science: Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), Large Eddy Simulation (LES), Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), Detached Eddy Simulation (DES), and Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) of Turbulence Phenomena Project description: Our goal is to compute high Reynolds number compressible flow in the framework of Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) code. The code we are using for our simulations accepts overlapping multi-block structured grids of Chimera type. Our aim is to study the performance of the code with pure MPI and MPI+OpenMP parallelizations and perform a baseline run on a relatively coarse grid. Project URL: Requested allocation: 250000 Justification: The requester has used 6 hours of their initial startup project. In addition to approving an initial amount, please specify a Category and Subcategory for this project. For a list of the current selection of approved categories, please see: https://wiki.lcrc.anl.gov/wiki/Processes/Categories Once the Allocation committee has approved the project, please go to the Project Management page to create it: https://accounts.lcrc.anl.gov/projects.php Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
