Hi Paul Thanks for replying. for quasi-2D, I mean I wish to define the velocity u(x,y,z) as sum(u(x,y,k)e^kz) to reduce the computational cost for really 3D case and also to avoid the long wave (which may longer then the geometry size in the z direction) in the axial direction.does nek currently support such feature? for prescribe the bc on curl surface, I mean something like non-immersed bc and and have velocity component in the tangential direction, like in the potential theory. cheers ---------------------------------------------- Zhang Wei [email protected] On 8 Jun, 2014, at 10:44 pm, [email protected] wrote:
Hi Zhang,
You can use periodic boundary conditions in the z direction, provided you have at least 3 elements in z.
Prescribed boundary conditions are given in Cartesian coordinates. If you have the "mv " bc on your moving surface (i.e., the cylinder surface), along with the following things
lx2=lx1-2 ly2=ly1-2 lz2=lz1-2
parameter (lx1m=lx1,ly1m=ly1,lz1m=lz1)
in SIZE, and T ifstrs, T ifmvbd in the .rea file, then the mesh will move with the fluid velocity (which you prescribe as Cartesian velocity vectors, u,v,w). Note that nek uses an ALE formulation and the mesh motion must relatively limited or the mesh becomes too distorted. For an oscillating cylinder, this should be ok (see www.mcs.anl.gov/~fischer/ocyl.gif). I've just added a 2D oscillating cylinder case that illustrates the basic procedure to the examples suite.
Paul

Hi Everyone. I am trying to run the flow past a cylinder case. I am going to move to the 3D simulation for my study. I have two questions: 1) how to run quasi 3D simulation in nek5000 ? if there is not existing code, andy suggestion to how to implement so? 2) how to specify the normal and tangential boundary condition for a curvature boundary?
