In this paper, we present results of the second phase of the project ExaFSA within the priority program SPP1648-Software for Exascale Computing. Our task was to establish a simulation environment consisting of specialized highly efficient and scalable solvers for the involved physical aspects with a particular focus on the computationally challenging simulation of turbulent flow and propagation of the induced acoustic perturbations. These solvers are then coupled in a modular, robust, numerically efficient and fully parallel way, via the open source coupling library preCICE. Whereas we made a first proof of concept for a three-field simulation (elastic structure, surrounding turbulent acoustic flow in the near-field, and pure acoustic wave propagation in the far-field) in the first phase, we removed several scalability limits in the second phase. In particular, we present new contributions to (a) the initialization of communication between processes of

preCICE is a free/open-source coupling library. It enables creating partitioned multi-physics simulations by gluing together separate software packages. This paper summarizes the development efforts in preCICE of the past five years. During this time span, we have turned the software from a working prototype -- sophisticated numerical coupling methods and scalability on ten thousands of compute cores -- to a sustainable and user-friendly software project with a steadily-growing community. Today, we know through forum discussions, conferences, workshops, and publications of more than 100 research groups using preCICE. We cover the fundamentals of the software alongside a performance and accuracy analysis of different data mapping methods. Afterwards, we describe ready-to-use integration with widely-used external simulation software packages, tests, and continuous integration from unit to system level, and community building measures, drawing an overview of the current preCICE ecosystem.
