Abstract
- The performance of high-order gas-kinetic scheme (HGKS) has been investigated for the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of isotropic compressible turbulence up to the supersonic regime [9]. Due to the multi-scale nature and coupled temporal-spatial evolution process, HGKS provides a valid tool for the numerical simulation of compressible turbulent flow. Based on the domain decomposition and message passing interface (MPI), a parallel HGKS code is developed for large-scale computation in this paper. The standard tests from the nearly incompressible flow to the supersonic one, including Taylor-Green vortex problem, turbulent channel flow and isotropic compressible turbulence, are presented to validate the parallel scalability, efficiency, accuracy and robustness of parallel implementation. The performance of HGKS for the nearly incompressible turbulence is comparable with the high-order finite difference scheme, including the resolution of flow structure and efficiency of computation. Based on the accuracy of the numerical solution, the numerical dissipation of the scheme in the turbulence simulation is quantitatively evaluated. Meanwhile, based on the kinetic formulation HGKS shows advantage for supersonic turbulent flow simulation with its accuracy and robustness. The current work demonstrates the capability of HGKS as a powerful DNS tool from the low speed to supersonic turbulence study, which is less reported under the framework of finite volume scheme. • A parallel HGKS code is developed as a powerful DNS tool from the low speed to supersonic turbulence study. • The parallel scalability, efficiency, accuracy and robustness of parallel implementation of HGKS are validated. • The performance of HGKS for the nearly incompressible turbulence is comparable with the high-order finite difference scheme. • As a mesoscopic method, HGKS also performs better than both lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and discrete unified gas-kinetic scheme (DUGKS).
