Hi Cesar,

Sorry I have not looked at this case for quite some time. i had forgotten it was described in the user-guide.

I think the issue is that really one needs some random noise to kick these flows. It does not look like there is one in this case. I will have a chat with Douglas to see if he has run this case recently so we can confirm how best to get thing going.

Cheers,
Spencer.

Dear all,

I have recently downloaded Nektar++ 4.3.0 and started doing the examples as shown in the user guide for the incompressible Navier-Stokes solver.

I am having some problems trying to reproduce the results of the "Turbulent Channel Flow" (TurbChFl_3DH1D.xml). The simulation runs without issues, but after converting the final .fld file to .vtu for visualization in Paraview, I still see a velocity field equal to that of the initial condition (u = 1 everywhere except near the wall), instead of the expected turbulent flow.

Has anyone experienced a similar outcome? Maybe I have to change something (simulation time?) in the .xml file before running the solver?

Thanks,
César
