<div dir="ltr">Hi Barak,<div><br></div><div>I am not aware of variable time stepping in nek5000. The time stepping used is BDFk/EXTk with CFL constraint for stability. You can change TORDER in .rea file to 2 or 3 to make the time stepping 2nd or third order accurate. There is a characteristic based time-stepping though... IFCHAR in .rea file.</div>
<div><br></div><div>However, if for a value ot DT you are getting convergence, essentially you should get the same for smaller value of DT. What is the error you are getting after the program aborts after 1200 iterations? It is still stored in your log file I suppose.</div>

Hi Barak,<br>
<br>
it is because of the fact that the generated file format is probably not<br></div>
readable in visit. In the *usrchk* subroutine in your .usr file write<div class="im"><br>
these 2 lines<br>
param(66) = 4<br>
param(67) = 4<br>
<br>
before the end of the routine<br>
<br>
Then compile and execute your program. Now you will get output files in<br>
the form of turbJet.fld001, turbJet.fld002, ...and so on.<br></div>
type in visnek turbJet in your terminal, and generate *turbJet.nek5000*.<div class="im"><br>

    Hi Tanmoy,<br>
    Many thanks. It seems that after dividing by 4 (dt=0.005) it runs<br>
    and I get output files in the form jet0.fxxxxx .<br>
    Now I am trying to visualize them using the precompiled ubuntu11<br>
    version of visit. Unfortunately, I get the following error:<br>
<br>
      VisIt could not read from the file<br></div>
    "/home/galanti/COMPUTATION/__<u></u>NEK5000/nek5_svn/TEST-__<u></u>examples/turbJet/jet0.f*<div class="im"><br>
    database".<br>
<br>
    The generated error message was:<br>
<br>
    There was an error opening<br></div>
    /home/galanti/COMPUTATION/__<u></u>NEK5000/nek5_svn/TEST-__<u></u>examples/turbJet/jet0.f*<div class="im"><br>
    database. It may be an invalid file.  VisIt tried using the<br>
    following file format readers to open the file: Nek5000<br>
<br>
    The following error(s) may be helpful in identifying the problem:<br>
    When attempting to use "Nek", the file matched the general format<br>
    expected by the reader but eventually encountered this error: "A tag<br>
    called filetemplate: must be specified".<br>
<br>
    What's wrong?<br>
    Many thanks again,<br>

        Hi Barak,<br>
<br>
        It is a problem with numerical Stability. Decrease DT  in your<br>
        .rea file<br>
        until the simulations become stable. You could start with 1/2 DT to<br>
        check if simulation is stable, other wise go for 1/4 DT, and<br>
        check with<br>
        this simple test.<br>
