contents We discuss pioneering heat and fluid flow simulations of fusion and fission energy systems with NekRS on exascale computing facilities, including Frontier and Aurora. The Argonne-based code, NekRS, is a highly-performant open-source code for the simulation of incompressible and low-Mach fluid flow, heat transfer, and combustion with a particular focus on turbulent flows in complex domains. It is based on rapidly convergent high-order spectral element discretizations that feature minimal numerical dissipation and dispersion. State-of-the-art multilevel preconditioners, efficient high-order time-splitting methods, and runtime-adaptive communication strategies are built on a fast OCCA-based kernel library, libParanumal, to provide scalability and portability across the spectrum of current and future high-performance computing platforms. On Frontier, Nek5000/RS has achieved an unprecedented milestone in breaching over 1 trillion degrees of freedom with the spectral element methods for the simulation of the CHIMERA fusion technology testing platform. We also demonstrate for the first time the use of high-order overset grids at scale.
