So, I have been running through all the examples given thus far, and I’m curious about the Turbulent Channel Flow example. I have been running the simulation for a decent amount of time, but I still do not seem to be gaining a solution that resembles what is shown in the user guide. I have also included the recommended modifications made in this post: https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/htdig/nektar-users/2016-May/000371.html

 

My questions regarding the turbulent channel case are:

 

1)      Approximately how long does the simulation need to run in terms of “in-simulation-time” before I can expect to see something similar to what is shown in the user-guide? Currently, mine is at 26.8299 seconds, with a time-step of 0.0001 (as per the original example).

2)      When the case in the user-guide was generated, was it done in serial??? I have been running this in parallel to try and speed it along because our job queue only allows us one hour of execution at a time.
