Default reactingFoam faster on less CPUs

Hello,


I am running a LES combustion case with PaSR (22 species, 124 reactions) on OpenFOAM 6. I tried to run the simulation on 80 CPUs and 16 CPUs. I have discovered that the simulation with less CPUs was running way faster than the other one. The bottleneck is in the calculation of the comustion/chemistry.

Can anybody tell me why this is happening?


Greetings

1. how many physical cores does the machine have?


2. Have you carried out a scaling study by looking at the speed-up vs Ncores -- typically increasing one node at a time (not core)?

Are you renumbering the mesh? What is the interconnect?
What is the decomposition method?
How many cells?
