Hello, 1) The quantities should only be on boundary faces. Do you have separate writers for volume and boundary faces ? If not, using "extract block" under ParaView might help separate them. 2) Yes, this sign is chosen from a "finite volume" rather than user perspective. A negati...

Hello, It may be interesting on the code_saturne side to activate the visualization output of the thermal fluxes at walls (and wall temperature), to see what amount of heat exchange you have at the interface. Depending on the mesh and turbulence model, the heat exchange might be underestimated even ...

Hello, The logging of the space dimension seems to be a bug, but I suspect your issue is that you have a 2D domain in Syrthes, and a 3D one in code_saturne. In the 3D disks example (whose reference setup should be updated), the "2D projection" option in the conjugate heat transfer section ...

Hello,

I meant that the choice of the roughness value can in itself be based on some user modeling choices. I was thinking mostly of the atmospheric cases where roughness can represent vegetation, which is accounted for in a simplified (i.e. modeled) way as a form of roughness.

Best regards,

Hello, I mean that Syrthes can compile its own OpenMPI library as an external dependency, but this does not seem to be the casde here. But you may be missing a setting in the syrthes-install/setup.ini file : you should have: ple_use=yes syrthescfd INSTALL=yes Otherwise, you will be missing the libsy...

Hello,

Are you sure your code_saturne and Syrthes builds use the same MPI installation ? Mismatched MPI libraries could explain the observed behavior. Since the Syrthes install script builds its own MPI library by default, this could happen if you are not extra careful.

Best regards,

Hello,

Not by default, but if you use the cs_restart_set_n_max_checkpoints function in.your settings (in cs_user_parameters) you should be able to do this (with an additional subdirectory per checkpoint time).

Best regards,

Hello, You can use iso_c_bindings to provide a C API to your Fotran code, and call that from the standard C user function. If your Fortran code does not depend on too many internal code_saturne structures, or those can be passed as arguments, this should even continue to wrk after v9.0. If you use m...

Hello, Sometimes, just a few pinched cells can cause issues, but It is hard to tell without looking at your mesh. Would it be feasible an LES on a simpler mesh, or a truncated version of this one in which you have only the "good" cells, to see if this works better, or if the issue is relat...

Hello, What type of meshes do you use ? LES in code_saturne can be quite sensitive to mesh quality and regularity. In a similar way, though centered convection schemes are needed for the conservation of energy, a very small portion of upwind (2%) might help stabilize the computation. Best regards, Y...
