AeroMoments filter
by F Mellibovsky 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hi all, I just thought it would be interesting to have a filter that computed moments of forces. It would require the same input parameters as the AeroForces filter plus an extra parameter to state the point with respect to which moments would be calculated, so in principle it should be extremely easy to implement. It's just a thought, but I think it would be valuable to many external aerodynamic applications. Cheers

On the C0Projection
by Jian Yu 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Dear everyone, I am trying to figure out the specific formulation when performing C0Projection, i.e. If I define m_c0ProjectExp as following m_c0ProjectExp = MemoryManager<MultiRegions::ContField2D>:: AllocateSharedPtr(m_session,m_graph,"DefaultVar"); Then what is the specific algorithm when perform the following command(all relative options are default)? m_c0ProjectExp->FwdTrans(var,var_Coeffs); m_c0ProjectExp->BwdTrans(var_Coeffs,var_smooth); If I have a discontinuous(across element interface) distribution of var, then what has been done during the above procedure? Could anyone please recommend me some materials on this? If possible, where can I find this topic on the book "Spectral/hp Element Methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics" Thank you in advance! Best wishes, Jian Yu

Gitlab update
by David Moxey 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

Hi all, Just a quick note that I have taken the opportunity to update Gitlab this afternoon, as we were a few versions and security fixes behind. There are no major changes as far as we are concerned (asides from some minor interface tweaks), but if you encounter any issues then please let me know. Thanks, Dave

Vcopy of complex numbers
by Kurt Sansom 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

I am trying to implement Vcopy for complex data type. What I started with was adding this line to Vmath.cpp in the template section. line 1082 template LIB_UTILITIES_EXPORT void Vcopy( int n, const std::complex<Nektar::NekDouble> *x, const int incx, std::complex<Nektar::NekDouble> *y, const int incy); but that seems to be insufficient because it compiles but gives the following error: dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN5Vmath5VcopyINSt3__17complexIdEEEEviPKT_iPS4_i I started looking at how the coefficients are handled in the FFT section, but It wasn't directly clear what the best approach to copying an array of complex numbers would be?

Hi Mellibovsky: Here is a case of transonic airfoil. I think it may be helpful to your problem. Cheers

Shock Capturing
by F Mellibovsky 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi all, I am interested in running the compressible flow solver (in principle just inviscid Euler) at supersonic Mach number on a sharp-leading-edge airfoil (attached shock expected). The solver seems to run just fine, but when I try to activate the shock-capturing option, the execution fails. I tried to find among the tests and examples the transonic airfoil case shown in the user-guide but I couldn't find it, plus the guide is not very clear on how to use shock-capturing. Can someone share a conditions file that has shock-capturing activated with the compressible Euler solver? Thanks in advance for any help with this. Cheers
