Abstract

It is critical to understand how hypersonic simulation tools perform on a range of computational platforms. This information will aid in the acquisition of appropriate hardware and the potential refactoring of hypersonic codes to run on different systems. In this paper, we consider two representative high-speed reacting flow cases: a model Mach 8 hypersonic waverider glide vehicle and a model hydrocarbon-fueled hypersonic ramjet propulsion system. In both scenarios, the flow fields are in chemical non-equilibrium and are modeled by the multi-species reacting Navier-Stokes equations. For these simulations we use several hypersonic simulation tools, including US3D, Kestrel, FUN3D, and the JENRE^R○ flow solver. We explore several high performance computing systems containing Intel^R○ Xeon^R○ Platinum processors, AMD EPYC^TM 7702 processors, and NVIDIA^R○ Tesla V100 devices. We compare performance and strong scaling between the different systems.
