The Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares (ININ) is one of the three research institutes of the Secretary of Energy in México. The ININ is devoted to research and technological developments in problems related to nuclear and other energies. In the Department of Physics of ININ, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Group has been developing numerical methods during the past three decades for solving various problems in science and engineering, in particular using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics technique, but also using other methods, see below. The CFD ININ group was also involved in the founding of the Cinvestav-Abacus supercomputer Centre, the largest in México. Most numerical simulations will be carried out in the Cinvestav-Abacus supercomputer, so we have the computer resources required by the project that involves developing exascale applications. The proposed tasks are aimed to developing an SPH multiphase and multicomponent (i.e. compositional) simulator for fractured oil fields optimized for exascale computer systems and this involves adding new physics and chemistry, developing a proper equation of state, user interfaces, comparing results to commercial simulators and optimize our existing codes for exascale systems. This part of the project is an extension of developments of the CFD ININ group and collaborators during the past two decades.
