Micromixers are chemical processing devices with complex flow patterns applied for both mixing and reaction of chemical species. In current research, laminar reacting multicomponent flows are considered. Despite the laminar streaming regime (e.g., Re = 186), there exist secondary flow microstructures. For this setup, accurate predictions of those structures are possible with a large-eddy simulation on a fine mesh resolving till the Batchelor microscales. Utilizing the open-source lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) framework, OpenLB, a benchmark simulation of the reacting micromixer, is re-established with new, more precise computation results. In this context, a Schmidt-number-based stabilization method for LBM-discretized reactive advection–diffusion equations by laminar secondary flow structures is used. A convergence study is performed, which is also a novelty. All computations have been performed on the high-performance computing cluster HoreKa using up to 160 NVIDIA A100 graphics processing units.
