I want to define some parameters in a separate file and want to use them both in my mesh.mcf and session.mcf files. By doing so I can define the problem parameters in one file and let all the other files read from it. How can I do this? Cheers, Ilteber

Can anyone help me? Thank you very much. Best regards, Shan 从 Windows 版邮件<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986>发送

As very new to it, I have tons of questions about Nektar++ of which I concerned the most: - The tutorials using Jupyter notebook on the website seem in completed. The mesh files and .xml configuration file are not available in most cases. Any suggestions how to fetch them somewhere else? - I basically play with Incompressible NS flow. Compared with finite volume method, e.g., OPENFOAM and ANSYS FLUENT, how is the efficiency of Nektar++? - Any suggestions how to begin with Nektar++? Marc Ph.D. student

If you point me to where can I implement it, that would be great. I can find a workaround to not use min () in initial condition but the function is complicated enough already.

Correct approach to add fluid Blowing and/or suction at a Plane Poiseuille Flow wall

Looking into the user-guide version 5.1.0 section 3.5.1- XML-Session-File>Forcing>Absorption seems to be a usable feature in this context Is there an efficient and suitable approach to add these perturbations to the flow ? Any general guidelines to achieve this are really appreciated, Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Saad

2D Navier Stokes mesh generation

However, I met a problem. I’m not sure how to customize my own 2D mesh, say change the flow domain, radius and position of cylinder. I have read though your tutorials. It seems like I need a CAD .step file to achieve my goal. But I also noticed that Nektar++ can generate meshes of NACA wings. So I’m wondering if I can do the similar things to generate meshes of a cylinder. Best, Zhikang

Parallel FieldConvert output in one single vtu file ?

If you trust the sender, add them to your safe senders list https://spam.ic.ac.uk/SpamConsole/Senders.aspx to disable email stamping for this address. ******************* Hi All, I'm on Nektar version 5.1.0, ending with datasets composed of moderate size files in numbers reaching few hundreds using the Incompresible Navier-Stokes Solver, I just want to use parallel FieldConvert to speed up the conversion process (which actually provide a real gain in speed) and produce a single vtu file, since opening *.pvtu format datasets gave an error in paraview-openmpi-5.9.1 , The command I'm using for parallel FieldConvert looks like this: mpirun -n 16 FieldConvert -m mapping model.xml model_i.chk model_i.vtu this creates n .vtu files under a .pvtu header, which as I reported earlier gives rise to this error: > ERROR: In > /builddir/build/BUILD/ParaView-v5.9.1/VTK/IO/XML/vtkXMLPDataReader.cxx, > line 315 > > vtkXMLPUnstructuredGridReader (0x55ffb1431450): File for piece 0 cannot be > read. > Is it possible to produce one single .vtu file out of parallel FieldConvert ? Thanks in advance, any help on this or workaround will be really appreciated, Kind regards, Saad

I was wondering if anyone could send me some files I could use as an example. I have followed the userguide but still have had issues. If I could see some case files for example it would be very helpful. Thanks, Matt Duran
