Mini-Symposia 9: Computational Fluid Dynamics with High-Order Spectral Element Methods on GPUs Send your submission ➡ https://lnkd.in/eAzujC8e Organized by: Mathis Bode, Jörg Schumacher, Roshan Samuel, Christian Hasse, Hendrik Nicolai, @Christos Frouzakis, and Ananias Tomboulides Turbulent fluid flows have been important use cases for high performance computing (#HPC) platforms since the first spectral simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations by Orszag and Patterson in the late 1960’s. Characterized by exponential convergence that provides high accuracy at lower computational cost, spectral-type numerical schemes are well suited for the efficient simulation of turbulence, where the number of grid points grows faster than quadratic with the Reynolds number when all flow features need to be resolved. Spectral element methods (SEMs) combine the high accuracy with flexibility in terms of flow geometry. A high-order SEM approximates the solution and data in terms of locally structured Nth-order tensor-product polynomials on a set of globally unstructured elements. Thus, in addition to exponential convergence for smooth solutions with increasing polynomial order, it offers flexibility to handle complex geometries via domain decomposition. For the same accuracy, matrix free SEM solvers also offer low storage and computational cost. In order to exploit the performance potential of existing and upcoming GPU-based #exascale #supercomputers, SEM solvers for CPU-based HPC systems have to either be ported to #GPUs, or to be rewritten from scratch. The potential of SEM solvers for exascale computing has been underlined by the two 2023 Gordon Bell Award finalists with applications using nekRS and neko. Furthermore, the recently developed nekCRF reactive flow plugin showcases how SEMs can be efficiently used for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) including multi-physics effects, like combustion, on exascale supercomputers. The mini symposium covers spectral element CFD solvers for GPUs. Submissions can include contributions to the development of numerical methods and/or physical models in the context of SEM as well as application examples of CFD using SEM on current GPU HPC systems. CFD can refer to fluid dynamics applications of flows with or without multi-physics effects, such as combustion, multiphase or magnetohydrodynamics.
