Hi,

I do it all the time, so there should not be any fundamental problems with using a 2d solution to start the homogeneous expansion case.

Just make sure you initialize all variables, some with the chk file and some manually.

Hi all,

I'm studying 3D devlopement of jets and am using a 3D1D setup with Fourier coefficients in the spanwise directions. Instead of starting a 3D1D case from scratch (the mesh contains 32 million DOF in 3D) I was thinking of trying out a few strategies in order to speed up convergence.

I have tried out the steady-state module but it seems to take a rather long time to converge as well.

I was thinking therefore, whether it would be possible to start the case in 2D, and once it reaches convergence, to switch over to a 3D 1D mode using a 2D .chk file as a restart point.

I have tried out a few cases with the procedure described above, but cases always seem to blow up after restarting in the 3D 1D mode. I could explore the parameter space by reducing the time-step or number of expansion modes etc, but I'd like to know if there is a fundamental block to this kind of approach, or indeed if there are better approaches to speeding up convergence.

Sincerely,
