Element with max CFL
by Vishal Saini 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi all, Quick question: Has anyone tried to check the location of a particular element in the mesh? A log file reports the maximum (?) CFL and the corresponding element as: "CFL: 0.0337915 (in elmt 94488)"? Is there a quick way to locate "elmt 94488"? Cheers, Vishal

Hi All, I am using AeroForces Filter for getting drag force and lift force, the problem the output file making a problem with time writing for example *This is my filter* <FILTERS> <FILTER TYPE="AeroForces"> <PARAM NAME="OutputFile">stats/stats3/CylinderForces3D</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="OutputFrequency">10</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="Boundary"> B[4] </PARAM> </FILTER> This is my time step <P> TimeStep = 0.0004 </P> which means it must write a new value every 10*0.0004=0.004 but in reality making the same time value *Any suggestions* ******************** 1003 1.1528798 0.0032943811 1.1561741 0.093659336 0.022570084 0.11622942 1003.01 1.1533744 0.0033214418 1.1566958 0.089484878 0.022455566 0.11194044 1003.01 1.1540334 0.0033446732 1.157378 0.085307044 0.022341002 0.10764805 1003.02 1.1546853 0.0033668472 1.1580522 0.081122172 0.022225614 0.10334779 1003.02 1.1553178 0.0033880677 1.1587059 0.076931666 0.022109346 0.099041012 1003.02 1.1559398 0.0034083917 1.1593482 0.072736623 0.021992207 0.09472883 1003.03 1.1565574 0.003427883 1.1599853 0.068536771 0.021874213 0.090410984 1003.03 1.1571725 0.0034465952 1.1606191 0.064331859 0.021755377 0.086087236 1003.04 1.1577834 0.0034645594 1.161248 0.060122116 0.021635717 0.081757833 1003.04 1.158388 0.0034817896 1.1618697 0.055907869 0.021515254 0.077423123 1003.04 1.1589851 0.0034982948 1.1624834 0.051689331 0.021394007 0.073083338 1003.05 1.1595742 0.0035140833 1.1630883 0.04746671 0.021271999 0.068738709 1003.05 1.160154 0.0035291602 1.1636832 0.043240357 0.021149249 0.064389606 ----------- any suggestions to change the time precision Regards, Reda

Bug in LDG
by Aidyn Aitzhan 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Dear all, Whenever I use 2 or more equations with different types of boundary conditions for diffusion, convection-diffusion with LDG I obtain something weird. For example, a solution obtained using the attached file is just random noise. However, when I run problems separately or use implicit diffusion advancement (discontinuous and continuous), there are no issues. What is the reason for such behavior? Is there a way to fix this? Thank you, Aidyn

Orthogonalization of polynomial coefficients / mass-matrix access from solver level
by Vidhi Zala 18 Jun '19

Hi all, If anyone has come across the application in Nektar++ that requires polynomial coefficients to be orthogonalized or know how to access mass matrix using m_fields[] within solver, please point me to the example code.

womersley number
by Shanshan Luo 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Dear all, I'm confused about description of womersley number on Page 150 of user-guide-4.4.1. Can anyone give me some suggestions? On Page 150, for the formulas below: [image: Screen Shot 2019-06-15 at 5.20.02 PM.png] [image: Screen Shot 2019-06-15 at 5.20.11 PM.png] How can I calculate *'alpha'*? Or it is a typo and should be *'alpha_n'*? Also for the formula : [image: Screen Shot 2019-06-15 at 5.23.19 PM.png], what does *R* and *T *represent? Does R mean RADIUS (the non-dimensional radius of the boundary in Gmsh) or the real radius (with dimension) of the object? Does T mean Period (the non-dimensional cycle time period)? Thank you very much! Best, Shan

Running IncNavierStokesSolver in parallel with I.C. from file
by Akhavan Safaei, Ali 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

Hello everyone, I got an issue when I want to run IncNavierStokesSolver while I am giving the initial conditions from a filed data file as: <FUNCTION NAME="InitialConditions"> <F VAR="u,v,w,p" FILE="IC.fld"/> </FUNCTION> The "IC.fld" was generated from the following interpolation using parallel FieldConvert: mpirun -np 256 FieldConvert -m interppointdatatofld Grid.xml IC.pts IC.fld where "IC.pts" comes from u,v,w,p from a fully turbulent 3D data. When I'm running the IncNavierStokesSolver with the following command: mpirun -np 256 IncNavierStokesSolver Grid.xml Conds.xml I'm getting the following error: Fatal : Level 0 assertion violation A parallel solver must be used when run in parallel. ------------------------------------------------------- Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned a non-zero exit code. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted. ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was: Exit code: 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything works correctly if I don't run in parallel. Has anybody seen such issue? I would extremely appreciate it if you can help me with that.

FieldConvert: extract module
by Shanshan Luo 07 Jun '19

Dear all, When I run the command: FieldConvert -m extract:fldtoboundary=1 cylinder1_Spherigon.xml cylinder1_Spherigon_5.chk cylinder1_Spherigon_5-boundary.chk It gives out errors: Fatal : Level 0 assertion violation Variable index out of range. libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type ErrorUtil::NekError: Level 0 assertion violation Variable index out of range. Abort trap: 6 I want to know can this command run with .chk file? Since we use the parallel computing, our cylinder1_Spherigon_5.chk file contains several .fld files and one info.xml. Also I want to know for the command in Page 84 of user-guide-4.4.1, what does "bnd" really mean? Could you help me figure this out? Thank you very much! Best, Shan

ADRsolver
by Stanisław Gepner 06 Jun '19

06 Jun '19

Hi all, Can somebody tell me if the ADRsolver can handle: 1. AdvectionVelocity from a set of files i.e. TIMEDEPENDENT: <FUNCTION NAME="AdvectionVelocity">  <F VAR="Vx,Vy,Vz" TIMEDEPENDENT="1" FILE="geom_%03i.chk:u,v,w" />  </FUNCTION> It seems as if it just uses the first file (or I am doing sth. wrong). I looked into the UnsteadyAdvection.cpp and AdvectionVelocity seems to be evaluated only at initialization. Is it the case? 2. Have Forcing f from a file: <FUNCTION NAME="Forcing"> <F VAR="Q" FILE="geom_240.chk:Q" /> </FUNCTION> For the above I am getting: Fatal : Level 0 assertion violation Function is defined by a file.

Dear all, I try to extract boundary region by running: FieldConvert -m extract:fldtoboundary=1 cylinder1_Spherigon.xml cylinder1_Spherigon_5.chk cylinder1_Spherigon_5-boundary.chk Here my cylinder1_Spherigob_5.chk is a folder which contains: [image: Screen Shot 2019-06-05 at 6.06.53 PM.png] This is due to we use mpirun command to do simulation. However, we get the errors when running the above command: Fatal : Level 0 assertion violation Variable index out of range. libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type ErrorUtil::NekError: Level 0 assertion violation Variable index out of range. Abort trap: 6 May I know how can I deal with such .chk file? Thank you very much! Best, Shan
