<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Parveen<br>
<br>
There is implementation of arnoldi time-stepper for spectra
calculation with parpack for nek5000. I think I've already sent
you some info about it. The code you can find at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="ftp://ftp.mech.kth.se/pub/adam/Nek5000/toolbox/">ftp://ftp.mech.kth.se/pub/adam/Nek5000/toolbox/</a><br>
There are sfd and arnoldi set-ups based on ext_cyl example form
repository. The restart of the stepper you can find in the code.
We do it by setting istep to 0 (forces solver to go through
BDF1->BDF2->BDF3->BDF3) and resetting some vectors to
zero.<br>
Best regards<br>
Adam<br>

<br>
I would guess you need to develop your own timestepper
because<br>
Nek uses BDFk & EXTk to time march, where typically
k=3. At<br>
start-up, it uses k=1 and k=2 to bootstrap. If you
start timestepping<br>
in the middle of the simulation then you need to
overwrite the<br>
existing coefficients so that you can restart the
timestepper,<br>
plus you need to store your initial condition (which
presumably<br>
amounts to overwriting vx,vy,vz, and pr).<br>
<br>
There are others in the community who have done these
kinds of<br>
things (I have not), who might have some further
comments.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Paul<br>
<br>
PS ----- Are you trying to find eigenvalues associated
with<br>
the spatial operators ? i.e., does the accuracy of the<br>
timestepper matter? If not, you can likely get away
with<br>
k=1, in which case you don't need much history in the
backward<br>
difference formula or extrapolation. Pressure, however,
is<br>
a bit of a tricky business because we use splitting and
there<br>
is a residual O(dt^k) impact...</div>
