<div>Hi, all:<br>
I read about the time average method in the turbChannel.usr/userchk,here is the origin codes:<br>
if(icalld.eq.0) then<br>
call rzero(uavg,n)<br>
call rzero(urms,n)<br>
call rzero(vrms,n)<br>
call rzero(wrms,n)<br>
call rzero(uvms,n)<br>
atime = 0.<br>
timel = time<br>
call planar_average_s(yy ,ym1 ,w1,w2)<br>
icalld = 1<br>
endif<br>
<br>
dtime = time - timel<br>
atime = atime + dtime<br>
<br>
if (atime.ne.0. .and. dtime.ne.0.) then<br>
beta = dtime/atime<br>
alpha = 1.-beta<br>
ifverbose = .false.<br>
<br>
call avg1(uavg,vx ,alpha,beta,n,'uavg',ifverbose)<br>
<br>
As seen , atime and timel is initialized by 0 and time, so when time=time+DT, dtime=DT, atime=DT, so the first average value is vx(t=DT), when time=time+2*DT, dtime=2*DT(timel is not changed, just equal to the initial value ),atime=3*DT, here question comes:
this will lead to vxmean(t=2*DT)=2/3*vx(t=DT)+1/3*vx(t=2*DT), this is not what we respect. The right one is make sure that dtime=DT all the time.<br>
<br>
Also, I do a test to verify this.In order to be more reliable, the velocity isn't nomorlized by u_tau. First, calculate by 1 step and output the means.dat, so the value equal to the time=DT's<br>
#time = 2.0000000E-02<br>
# y uup_tau Umean<br>
0.000000000E+00 2.031155153E-02 0.000000000E+00<br>
2.565198406E-03 2.031155153E-02 1.285886819E-02<br>
then restart with the field from previous calculation and output the means.dat, this will output the value of time=2*DT's,
<br>
#time = 4.0000000E-02<br>
# y uup_tau Umean<br>
0.000000000E+00 2.072569248E-02 0.000000000E+00<br>
2.565205097E-03 2.072569248E-02 1.288671376E-02<br>
At last, restart the calculation and run 2 steps to calculate the average of vx(time=DT) and vx(time=2*DT)<br>
#time = 4.0000000E-02<br>
# y uup_tau Umean<br>
0.000000000E+00 2.061649552E-02 0.000000000E+00<br>
2.565198406E-03 2.061649552E-02 1.287524390E-02<br>
<br>
As can be seen, the 2 step average is almost equal to the average of step 1 and step 2. So what's wrong with my understanding? Is timel alway updated to the previous time and make sure that dtime=constant? How?<br>
Can anyone help?<br>
