Abstract

In this reporting period, we have combined several previous efforts to simulate a large-scale soot particle agglomeration with a dynamic, multi-scale turbulent background flow field. We have built upon previous simulations which include 3.2 million particles and have implemented load-balancing within a versatile simulation software. We have furthermore contributed tests of the load-balancing mechanisms for the agglomeration scenario. We have significantly increased the simulation to 109.85 million particles, superposing short-ranged MD with a dynamically changing multi-scale background flow field. Based on extensive software enhancements for the molecular dynamics software ESPResSo, we have started simulating on the Cray XC40 at HLRS. To verify that our setup reproduces essential physics, we have evaluated load-balancing for a scenario, for which we have scaled down the influence of the flow field to make the scenario mostly homogeneous on the subdomain scale. Finally, we have shown that load-balancing still pays off even for the homogenized version of our dynamic soot particle agglomeration scenario.
