Hi Asim, I am just resending this email to the whole nektar-users list in case others have experienced this issue. Thanks for your summary. This is certainly strange. It looks like some noise is being added in your p=100 case however I have not seen this previously. I am cc’ing Dave & Douglas to see if they have experienced this at all? Cheers, Spencer.

However, some problems show up for highly partitioned cases. I attached an example for two cases merged from p=2, and p=100 (p number of partitions). The contours are the mean spanwise vorticity, extracted with the slightly extended meanmode-module that I wrote. In the case of p=100, there are clear oscillations in some areas. I didn't observe any oscillations for velocity and pressure fields in any cases. So, I guess calculation of derivatives giving problems in highly-partitioned case. I was wondering what could be the reason for this. Thank you very much in advance for any feedback.

This can be generated from FieldConvert using <page98image37800.png> FieldConvert --nprocs 10 file2.xml file2.fld/Info.xml:info There should also be some details about this in the user-guide in section 5.5.1 (user-guide-4.3.2.pdf). I hope this helps. Spencer.

I was wondering if there is a way to merge the outputs back into one piece again like one piece fld file. Any feedback is appreciated.
