Hi all,

The Pn-Pn solver is implemented in plan4.f. Here are some useful references:

S. A. Orszag, M. Israeli, and M. O. Deville. Boundary Conditions for
Incompressible Flows. Journal of Scientific Computing, 1:75–111, 1986.

A.G. Tomboulides, J.C.Y. Lee, and S.A. Orzag. Numerical Simulation of
Low Mach Number Reactive Flows. Journal of Scientific Computing,
1997:139–167, 12.

J. L. Guermond. Nonstandard nonconforming approximation of the Stokes
Problem, I: periodic boundary conditions. International Journal of
Numerical Analysis and Modeling, 2:345–354, 2005.

I am happy to take your questions anytime.

Cheers
Stefan
