Ccaccia73 Hello. I'm also interested in Code_Saturne and reliability of results obtained with it (for industrial applications). IMHO, calculating the local pressure drop is not so simple as it seems to be. Even commercial solvers may give some different results, although setup looks normal for this...

Yvan Fournier Hello, thanks for your reply. I hope I will not forget to upload a performance.log (to complete the description of this case). Code_Saturne is on my home PC. I don't get the administrative permission to install any software on our "battle" systems now, so at the moment exper...

Hello. I'm continuing to test and learn Code Saturne on my PC. The basic level target is to be able to perform "pure aerodynamic" calculations on arbitrary, not very simple geometry (not a cube or cylinder) with adequate speed. For test cases I chose an existing geometry of "tangentia...

Hello. I tested Saturne this weekend and found some more details about blank window issue. It's not a flash drive related. It also appeared when the case and mesh was entirely on HDD. Just a minor bug somewhere, and can be worked around by clicking calculation start button again. Issue with "in...

Hello. I used first method (CSV in ./DATA directory + base file name) and it worked OK. Thanks for solution. Now debugging my functions... But it was also strange behaviour of Saturne. My test case was on flash drive. I created an "empty" case with code_saturne create Swirl , copied my cs_...

Thanks!!! The first method looks optimal in my case and it's reliable because we don't need to play with relative paths that can change in other versions/configurations. CSV profile files are usually not very large so they can easily be copied. I will try to use base file name and place file into DA...

Hello. First I want to say great thank for full-featured freeware CFD program. It was really surprising that Code_Saturne ran seamlessly on my first test without any tweaking of relaxation, time step e.t.c. and produced "physical" results for my "pure aerodynmic" test case with r...
