Description

In this white paper, the main results of the SHAPE pilot project “Enhanced airflow simulations around filling
machines in clean rooms” are presented. During this project on the Tier-0 system Cray XE6 “Hermit” at HLRS,
Germany, the open source CFD software package OpenFOAM® v2.2.2 was utilized to run simulations meeting
the requirements of industrial production. Besides testing different turbulence models, emphasis was placed on
parallel mesh generation with snappyHexMesh and the decomposition and reconstruction of large meshes with
more than 10 million cells.
Furthermore, the cooperation between PRACE and the SME OPTIMA pharma GmbH is described, and a report
on the benefits for the SME, the lessons learned and the future activities is added.
