Scaling Up Molecular Hydrodynamics of Non-Laminar Flows with GPU-Aware MPI
摘要
This work presents atomic-scale modeling of the perturbed flow of a Lennard-Jones fluid in a quasi-two-dimensional system containing one billion atoms. A statistically stationary flow regime corresponding to a Reynolds number of \(\textrm{Re}\approx 1000\) has been achieved, the flow structure has been analyzed, and the energy spectrum of velocities has been calculated. The results show a spectrum shape characteristic of quasi-two-dimensional turbulence. The analysis confirms the feasibility of using molecular dynamics to investigate turbulence at scales close to the Kolmogorov scale. The results of using GPU-aware MPI technology for these calculations on the Desmos and cHARISma supercomputers are discussed.
