H3PC: Hypersonic, High-Order, High-Performance Code with Adaptive Mesh Refinement and Real Chemistry

Abstract: We have developed a hypersonic high-order, high-performance code (H$^3$PC) utilizing the ``Trixi.jl" framework in order to simulate both non-reactive and chemically reactive compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for complex three-dimensional geometries. H$^3$PC is parallel on CPU platforms and can perform exascale parallel computations of hypersonic turbulent flows. The numerical approach is based on the discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method, satisfying the entropy and energy stability conditions for the Euler equations. H$^3$PC can perform simulations of high-speed flows from subsonic to hypersonic speeds based on frozen, equilibrium, and non-equilibrium chemistry modeling of the gas mixture, using the \texttt{Mutation.jl} , which is a Julia package developed to wrap the C++-based Mutation++ library. H$^3$PC can also perform parallel adaptive mesh refinement for two- and three-dimensional Euler and Navier-Stokes discretizations with non-conforming elements. In this study, we first demonstrate the successful integration of Mutation++ into the H$^3$PC solver, and then verify its accuracy through simulations of Taylor-Green vortex flow, supersonic flow past a square and circular cylinder, and hypersonic P8-inlet.
