'hopefully', --> My question is about the possibility to handle variable viscosity or temperature dependent viscosity, So is there any approach to account for temperature dependent viscosity nu(T) ? I'm asking for this, since the temperature gradient at the heated wall is known to alter the viscosity (Ref: Physics of transitional shear flow, A. V. Boiko et al. Sec. 6.5 page 112) which I have to account for when carrying flow transition calculations. --> In case it is not directly achievable through Nektar's functionalities, is it conceivable to direct my effort toward employing an ad-hoc approach modifying the momentum transfer to account for lower liquid viscosity at higher temperature? That is, most likely adding a forcing term which mimics the effect of varying viscosity by altering the momentum transfer accordingly, since the stress tensor for a newtonian fluid tau=mu.du/dy. Any comment on the sanity of this approach ? Thank you all in advance, any help or general guidelines on this model variation greatly appreciated. Regards, Saad
