At Glenn Research Center, the Space-Time Conservation Element and Solution Element (CE/SE) Method is currently being applied to large-scale numerical flow simulation in chemically reacting flows and computational aeroacoustics.

This figure shows results of acoustics computations (using a 3-D code parallelized via domain decomposition and MPI message-passing) of an underexpanded 3-D supersonic rectangular jet carried out by C.Y. Loh, A. Himansu et al. The figure shows qualitative agreement between experimental and numerical schlieren images for the first few shock cells.

For this computation, jobs were submitted to computers at Glenn and using LSF. The work was then load balanced to computer clusters at both Glenn and Langley Research Center using LSF Multiclustering software.
