[Nek5000-users] Need for clarification

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Hi Prasanth,

Nek solves the navier-stokes equation in dimensional form. So, you can
design your geometry in such a way such that your defined length scale L =
1, and your defined velocity scale U = 1 as well. So your Reynolds number =
U L / nu = 1/nu.

So,if you put P02 = -nu, it will be read as 1/nu.

Best Regards,
Tanmoy
