Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
437.leslie3d is derived from LESlie3d (Large-Eddy Simulations with Linear-Eddy Model in 3D), a research-level Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. It is the primary solver used to investigate a wide array of turbulence phenomena such as mixing, combustion, acoustics and general fluid mechanics.
For CPU2006, the program has been set up a to solve a test problem which represents a subset of such flows, namely the temporal mixing layer. This type of flow occurs in the mixing regions of all combustors that employ fuel injection (which is nearly all combustors). Also, this sort of mixing layer is a benchmark problem used to understand physics of turbulent mixing.
LESlie3d uses a strongly-conservative, finite-volume algorithm with the MacCormack Predictor-Corrector time integration scheme. The accuracy is fourth-order spatially and second-order temporally.
The benchmark version, 437.leslie3d, performs limited file I/O to isolate the workload to CPU and memory subsystems. A theoretically exact problem was choosen for this benchmark to allow direct validation.
Three different input stack sizes, test, train, ref, are available for this benchmark. Each size represents an increasing grid resolution for the solution. Input parameters include the grid size, flow parameters and boundary conditions.
The output for the benchmark is a single text file, leslie3d.out, with analysis information that tracks the momentum thickness through time, which is validated against the provided theoretical data.
The original LESlie3D also writes to the screen; this code has been turned off for the SPEC version, 437.leslie3d.
