Hi,
I tried to run Sod problem using Nektar. The solver information is as follows,
<SOLVERINFO>
<I PROPERTY="EQType" VALUE="EulerCFE" />
<I PROPERTY="Projection" VALUE="DisContinuous" />
<I PROPERTY="AdvectionType" VALUE="WeakDG" />
<I PROPERTY="TimeIntegrationMethod" VALUE="ForwardEuler" />
<I PROPERTY="UpwindType" VALUE="HLLC" />
<I PROPERTY="LocalTimeStep" VALUE="True" />
<I PROPERTY="ShockCaptureType" VALUE="NonSmooth" />
</SOLVERINFO>
The information of expansion is
<E COMPOSITE="C[1]" NUMMODES="3" FIELDS="rho,rhou,rhov,E" TYPE="MODIFIED" />
The mesh is generated by Gmsh. For simplicity, I use qausi-structured mesh with dx=0.0047 and dy=0.0036. According to my knowledge of numerical scheme, CFL is usually between 0.1 and 0.5. However, I found out that CFL must be 0.01 to ensure stable simulation. Why is CFL so small in Nektar?
