Acoustics loads are rocket design constraints which push researches and engineers to invest efforts in the aeroacoustics phenomena which is present on launch vehicles. Therefore, an in-house computational fluid dynamics tool is developed in order to reproduce high-fidelity results of supersonic jet flows for aeroacoustic analogy applications. The solver is written using the large eddy simulation formulation that is discretized using a finite-difference approach and an explicit time integration. Numerical simulations of supersonic jet flows are very expensive and demand efficient high-performance computing. Therefore, non-blocking message passage interface protocols and parallel input/output features are implemented into the code in order to perform simulations which demand up to one billion degrees of freedom. The present work evaluates the parallel efficiency of the solver when running on a supercomputer with a maximum theoretical peak of 127.4 TFLOPS. Speedup curves are generated using nine different workloads. Moreover, the validation results of a realistic flow condition are also presented in the current work.
