ABLATE Ablative Boundary Layers At The Exascale

Version 0.12.30

ABLATE is a UB CHREST project focused on leveraging advances in both exascale computing and machine learning to better understand the turbulent mixing and fuel entrainment in the combustion environment that is critical to the operation of hybrid rocket motors.

The ABLATE documentation that should contain:

  • building/running the framework
  • physics overview and assumptions
  • development guides

Repository Layout

src

AblateLibrary is a c++ library used to set up and run simulations. It is built provides a level of abstraction that simplifies setting up complex simulations. Details of the code structure can be found in Source Documentation.

tests

The test directory holds four sub-test projects, each focused on a different aspect of testing.

  • tests/testingResources: testingResources build a library used by the other testing projects. This includes helper classes for running mpi based tests
  • tests/unitTests: includes unit tests for the core ABLATE functionality
  • tests/integrationTests: integration level tests built upon the ablateLibrary parser and runs during every pull request process
  • tests/regressionTests: larger tests that may take hours to solve but serve as real examples of using ABLATE. These are not automatically run as part of the pull request process, instead run weekly to check functionality

docs
