[Nek5000-users] Tripping mechanism

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

Hi Juan Diego,

Indeed, we describe in our paper the trip forcing. The tripping has a 
temporal part (third-order Lagrange interpolants with specific time 
scale) and a spatial part (the h^i(z)). We typically use white noise for 
these h(z), low-pass filtered with a spectral cutoff filter at a 
wavenumber 2pi/z_s. So what one gets in h(z) is just random sines and 
cosines up to a spanwise scale z_s.

The implementation of course needs to make sure i) that you have the 
same random numbers for the whole spanwise extent, and ii) that when 
restarting a simulation you continue the previous tripping in a smooth 
way as to not generate any peaks (discontinuities) at the restart.

Please let me know if you have further questions, and I am happy to help 
more.

Best regards,
Philipp Schlatter
