Kamal,
Looks good.
I'm guessing that one further refinement would be:
if (z.gt.z0) scale = 1 + (smax-1)*(z-z0)/(z1-z0)
if (z.gt.z1) scale = smax
which would yield
scale = 1 when z=z0
scale = smax when z >= z1

You can plot this quantity against lx1 and this should give you a good picture of how you are converging (without needing to change the physical mesh).

The part "ifto = .true." tells Nek to output the temperature field whenever it outputs a field file. You could then view this in visit just like you would the velocity field.
