Fast reactive flow simulations using analytical Jacobian and dynamic load balancing in OpenFOAM

This paper presents an open-source library to speed up CFD simulations of reactive flows in OpenFOAM using analytical Jacobians and dynamic load balancing. Demonstrated on 2D and 3D combustion cases, it achieves up to 100x speed-up while maintaining accuracy.
