Detailed chemistry-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are computationally expensive due to the solution of the underlying chemical kinetics system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Here, we introduce a novel open-source library aiming at speeding up such reactive flow simulations using OpenFOAM, an open-source C++ software for CFD. First, our dynamic load balancing model DLBFoam (Tekgül et al., 2021) is utilized to mitigate the computational imbalance due to chemistry solution in multiprocessor reactive flow simulations. Then, the individual (cell-based) chemistry solutions are optimized by implementing an analytical Jacobian formulation using the open-source library pyJac, and by increasing the efficiency of the ODE solvers by utilizing the linear algebra package LAPACK. We demonstrate the speed-up capabilities of this new library on various combustion problems.These test problems include a 2D turbulent reacting shear layer and 3D stratified combustion to highlight the favorable scaling aspects of the library on ignition/flame front initiation setups for dual-fuel combustion.
