And, after postprocessing the case, it made me wonder if Nek5000 is able to run this case with a more optimized mesh? That is, refined just close to the cylinder and coarse away from it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Clearly, for this case, the refinement around the cylinder extends in sort of a “+” shape away from the cylinder. This refinement away from the cylinder is not necessary, specially towards the sides and towards the upstream. But even in the downstream the mesh could be (ideally) a bit coarser.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Some other CFD codes are able to handle this problem by accepting refinement of the mesh just close to the cylinder (obviously at the surface of the refinement an element from the coarser side becomes neighbour of two or more elements on the refined side). I’m wondering if Nek5000 is already capable of handling this kind of refinement (or possibly any other solution/trick {maybe lowering the order of the elements themselves}) in order to avoid this typical problem of excessive refinement where it’s not needed/desired?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Wondering and hoping, indeed, because this problem may become serious for some other configurations, for example for an array of cylinders, which then my cause the mesh to be refined all over the domain and not just in the “+” shape region.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Thanks a lot,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Alexis<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Dr Alexis Espinosa</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Supercomputing Specialist</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Pawsey Supercomputing Centre</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>26 Dick Perry Ave<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Kensington WA 6151<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Australia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Tel</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'> +61 xxxx xxxx<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Email</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'> <a href="mailto:alexis.espinosa@pawsey.org.au">alexis.espinosa@pawsey.org.au</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Web</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'> <a href="http://www.pawsey.org.au/">www.pawsey.org.au</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><img border=0 width=230 height=59 id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image001.png@01D3F1E0.9083C740"></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>From: </span></b><span style='color:black'>Alexis Espinosa Gayosso <alexis.espinosa@pawsey.org.au><br><b>Date: </b>Tuesday, 8 May 2018 at 4:46 pm<br><b>To: </b><nek5000-users@lists.mcs.anl.gov><br><b>Subject: </b>Compiling Problems in "Running your very first simulation"</span><span style='color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Hello,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>The title of my thread is the same as for an already existing thread (26-Sept-2017) because:</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I receive very similar warning messages when compiling nek5000 (./maketools all).
