Dear Stan and Wei, Thanks a lot for your reply! The XML files for base flow and stability analysis are attached. I used the steady-state solver to calculate the base flow, and the resulting flow field is in the laminar flow state (the resulting file of base flow is also attached). Is it possible to ensure the convergence of the base flow in this way?

If you compare the eigenspetrum, I believe you will find there is no big difference. I think you can try a higher oder calculations or different Krylov space.

Hi Everyone, For 2D direct stability analysis of Nektar + +, when raising the NumSteps, I get different eigenvectors and I'm not sure which is correct (as shown in the figure). TimeStep = 0.004 TimeStep = 0.004 NumSteps = 4250 NumSteps = 8250 <74181780A2BD44EFB8F01C3554F38D2E.png> <872686C9FAC945B3B3D059AE5B7BA221.png> Why does NumSteps affect the results and how do I set its value? Looking forward to your reply!
