<div dir="ltr">Hello Neks,<div><br></div><div>I have a small (4x4x1) cubic domain, which is periodic in Y. No slip boundaries in X and Z. This is to generate a Rayleigh Benard convection flowfield with Z being the convective direction. The flow is driven by hot sidewalls in X.</div><div><br></div><div>My problem is when I restart the flowfiled from a particular flowfiled file using the same .rea, .usr files and everything, the periodicity in the Y direction seems to be gone. </div><div><br></div><div>My originial flowfileds are periodic in Y and have the same value of Velocity Magnitude through all the Y slices ( as can be seen with VisIt). But my restarted files have different values of velocity magnitude in different slices of Y, which should not be the case.</div><div><br></div><div>This seems to suggest something going wrong during restarting for the periodic bc side. I haven't noticed any change in the Velocity if I have no-slip in Y instead of Periodic.</div><div><br></div><div>I would appreciate any input on this problem.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Saikat</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#444444" face="georgia, serif" size="2">Saikat Mukherjee,</font></span></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#444444" face="georgia, serif" size="2">PhD Student,</font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#444444" face="georgia, serif" size="2">Paul Research Group - <a href="http://www.me.vt.edu/mpaul/" target="_blank">http://www.me.vt.edu/mpaul/</a><br></font><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#444444" face="georgia, serif" size="2">Engineering Science and Mechanics,</font></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#444444" face="georgia, serif" size="2">Virginia Tech.</font></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
