Multi-GPU porting of a phase-change cascaded lattice Boltzmann method for three-dimensional pool boiling simulations

The Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has proven effective in simulating phase-change phenomena, such as melting, solidification, evaporation, and boiling. In this work, we develop a highly parallelized multi-GPU implementation of LBM for three-dimensional pool boiling simulations. The code is based on the OpenACC programming model, which enables the code to be deployed efficiently on multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and potentially other accelerators, without the need for architecture-specific rewrites. To support large-scale simulations, the domain is decomposed and distributed across multiple compute nodes using MPI. We demonstrate that the code exhibits excellent scaling properties, with ideal strong-scaling running with up to 256 GPUs on the MareNostrum5 cluster.

Stochasticity at Scales Leads to Lithium Intercalation Cascade

Porous intercalation electrodes are synonymous with the promise of lithium-ion batteries toward electromobility. These electrodes exhibit stochastic geometrical features spanning different length scales. The implication of microstructural inhomogeneity on the lithium intercalation dynamics is hitherto unknown. In this work, starting from three-dimensional (3D), X-ray tomograms of intercalation electrode microstructures, we characterize the microstructural variability in porous intercalation electrodes. Furthermore, a physics-based analysis of electrochemical response reveals that the stochastic features can cause preferential lithiation fronts.
