Hello,

The guidelines are a good starting point, but need updating, and do not take into account some newer options such as the all-y+ law (in k-omega) or low-Reynolds models.

I do not think they were written with the rough law model in mind, as the roughness adds an amount of user modeling, and ...

Hello,

It is not possible to determine whether this is due to an issue in the code or in you user-defined functions, so you need to:
- ideally, run this under under a debugger on your side, to get more details
- otherwise, post you user-defined files.

Also, v7.0.2 is not up to date, so you should ...

Hello,

Do you also have some user-defined functions ?

Checking with a colleague developing this, your Van Genuchten ks value seems a bit high (in clay, it would be closer to 1e-2 or lower).

Also, the groundwater module used in the v8.0 GUI is obsolete, and replaced by the CDO-based module in v9.0 ...

Hello,

The level of detail in the theory guide is unfortunately far from uniform, and some subtle implementation differences in turbulence models might not be documented (or the matching elements may be spread out over many technical reports, bugtracker issues, ... or change logs, which makes it ...

Hello,

If faces are joined for periodicity, they become interior faces, so should be selectable as interior (not boundary) faces.
Combining periodicity and boundary face insertion would be another matter, as periodic faces are interior faces but one of their adjacent cell is a ghost cell, without ...

Hello,

It is strange that the number of interior faces seems to decrease but the number of boundary faces remains constant.

I recommend testing this with a current version of the code (v8.0 or example, or v9.0 beta). Also, you can create an additional postprocessing mesh based on you selection ...

Hello,

To use different directories, you need to create one writer per directory, using cs_post_define_writer (where you can define a separate directory for each writer) , then use "cs_probe_set_associate_writers" to assign a different writer for each probe set.

In any case, if you really have a ...

Hello,

You cannot define the same function in multiple files, but you can define multiple probe sets in a single cs_user_postprocess_probes function.

If you have many similar probe sets, I recommend declaring them in a loop rather than copy/pasting the same instructions.

Best regards,

Hello,

This conversion function (and similar ones) are called in loops over all cells, so do not work over a full field, but only local values. You simply need to use it in a loop.

Hello,

I just relayed this question to Sofiane Benhamadouche a few minutes ago, and is seems that the code may have evolved a bit, and it would actually be helpful for everybody if someone took to time to dive into the code in our SEM implementation to check / update the equations relative to ...
