Parallel Simulations of Waste Incineration in a Dump Combustor

Abstract

A parallel code has been developed and used to study the waste incineration in a dump combustor. Results from some timing tests to characterize the performance of the code on massively parallel machines like the Intel-Paragon, IBM-SP2 and the Cray-T3D and workstation class machines like the SGI Power Challenge are presented. It is shown that the performance of the code can be significantly enhanced by increasing the computation to communication work load ratio per processor. Some results from the waste incineration studies are presented which demonstrate the possibility of increasing waste consumption in the dump combustor by acoustically and mechanically forcing the inlet and fuel streams.
