MFiX-Exa Introduction
==================
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
MFiX-Exa is a new massively parallel code for computing multiphase
flow in which solid particles interact with the gas surrounding them.
It is built on top of AMReX, a publicly available software framework designed for building
massively parallel block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR)
applications.
MFiX-Exa relies on the same fundamental physics as in MFIX but the spatial and
time discretizations differ. Specifically,
- Fluid velocity is defined at cell centers; pressure is defined at nodes.
- The advection algorithm includes an intermediate MAC projection for face-centered
advection velocities
- Incompressibility of the fluid is imposed through the use of a projection at the
end of the time step rather than through SIMPLE iterations
- The representation of the complex geometry includes mesh refinement around the
fluid-solid interface, which is represented used the embedded boundary, or
cut-cell approach
- Parallelization via flat MPI, OpenMP, hybrid MPI/OpenMP, or MPI/MPI.
- Porting of MFiX-Exa to GPUs is in progress.
- Parallel I/O using AMReX native I/O or HDF5.
- Plotfile format supported by AmrVis, VisIt, ParaView, and yt.
