Help required in figuring out biglobal floquet stability analysis of flow over cylinder
by Arfan Uddin 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Hi all, I am trying to do Biglobal floquet stability analysis of flow over a cylinder. My base flow has converged and I am getting the Strouhal numbers correctly for different Reynolds numbers. Then I tried to do the stability analysis, but I am not getting the desired results for floquet multipliers. I think there are some wrong settings in my input file that I am not able to figure out. Can anyone look at my input files and help me figuring out the possible source of error? Please check the attached files. Here are the steps I am following:1. Solve for the 2D base flow using UnsteadyNavierStokes equations. (Input file Cylinder.xml)2. Get the base flow (.bse files) by taking 32 time slices over one period. (Input file Cylinder-base.xml)3. Use the base flow to set up stability simulation for a specified LZ (Input fie Cylinder-Stability.xml) The output .evl file is also attached. General data: Re=220, LZ=2.4166, Expected floquet multiplier=0.45. I am new to the solver. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards,Arfan Uddin

High order boundary representation of cylinder
by Jian Yu 25 Sep '15

Dear all, I have generated a mesh of the gmesh format around a 3D cylinder(radius=0.5). When I perform the following command: ./MeshConvert -m cyl:surf=16,17:r=0.5:N=10 cylinder_straightlines.xml cylinder_highorder.xml The following error message is generated: Fatal : Level 0 assertion violation This function is only valid for shape type geometries terminate called after throwing an instance of 'ErrorUtil::NekError' what(): Level 0 assertion violation This function is only valid for shape type geometries Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem? The msh and cylinder_straightlines.xml files are attached. Thank you! Best Jian Yu

Re: [Nektar-users] Filter History Point output error
by Sherwin, Spencer J 24 Sep '15

Hi Douglas, Thanks for confirming. Chengwang you could try writing out all the data a the history point you are considering on every plane. This information would then be sufficient to do a backwards transform and get the point anywhere along the span you wish. Actually it might be worth us putting in an option to do this from the filter since this is what will be required anyway even if we search for the physical point. Cheers, Spencer.

I think this is intentional, since the output file in the 3DH1D case contains the information "(in Wavespace)".

Hi All, I have successfully installed the library is able to run some solvers and generate .fld data. However in order to visualize I want them to be converted to vtk format but I can not find the *fldtovtk* executable file. I compiled nektar 4.2 in ubuntu 12.04 with vtk and qt support. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- *mindbender*
