paramater convergence study

Post by meb15aa »

Hi everyone,
I am conducting a convergence study to see if my parameters converge to a satisfactory level. I have made several monitoring points corresponding to nodes of my finest mesh. For my coarser meshes, due to the redesigning of the mesh these points no longer sit on top of nodes, but now represent empty space. My question is would Code_Saturne be able to interpret this result or would I have to relocate my points for each differently aligned mesh to ensure the monitoring points are located at a node.
Thank you.

Hello,

When using probes, the value at the closest cell center is used, so the code interprets the result with no issue, but the result may have "steps" and not be completely smooth.

Regards,
