1## libCEED: Navier-Stokes Example 2 3This page provides a description of the Navier-Stokes example for the libCEED library, based on PETSc. 4PETSc v3.17 or a development version of PETSc at commit 0e95d842 or later is required. 5 6The Navier-Stokes problem solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions using an explicit time integration. 7The state variables are mass density, momentum density, and energy density. 8 9The main Navier-Stokes solver for libCEED is defined in [`navierstokes.c`](navierstokes.c) with different problem definitions according to the application of interest. 10 11## Build instructions 12 13Build by using: 14 15`make` 16 17and run with: 18 19``` 20./navierstokes -ceed [ceed] -problem [problem type] -degree [degree] 21``` 22 23If you want to do *in situ* machine-learning training, specify `SMARTREDIS_DIR` in the make command like: 24 25``` 26make SMARTREDIS_DIR=~/software/smartredis/install 27``` 28 29## Runtime options 30 31% inclusion-fluids-marker 32 33The Navier-Stokes mini-app is controlled via command-line options. 34The following options are common among all problem types: 35 36:::{list-table} Common Runtime Options 37:header-rows: 1 38 39* - Option 40 - Description 41 - Default value 42 43* - `-ceed` 44 - CEED resource specifier 45 - `/cpu/self/opt/blocked` 46 47* - `-test_type` 48 - Run in test mode and specify whether solution (`solver`) or turbulent statistics (`turb_spanstats`) output should be verified 49 - `none` 50 51* - `-compare_final_state_atol` 52 - Test absolute tolerance 53 - `1E-11` 54 55* - `-compare_final_state_filename` 56 - Test filename 57 - 58 59* - `-problem` 60 - Problem to solve (`advection`, `density_current`, `euler_vortex`, `shocktube`, `blasius`, `channel`, `gaussian_wave`, and `taylor_green`) 61 - `density_current` 62 63* - `-implicit` 64 - Use implicit time integrator formulation 65 - 66 67* - `-degree` 68 - Polynomial degree of tensor product basis (must be >= 1) 69 - `1` 70 71* - `-q_extra` 72 - Number of extra quadrature points 73 - `0` 74 75* - `-ts_monitor_solution` 76 - PETSc output format, such as `cgns:output-%d.cgns` (requires PETSc `--download-cgns`) 77 - 78 79* - `-ts_monitor_solution_interval` 80 - Number of time steps between visualization output frames. 81 - `1` 82 83* - `-viewer_cgns_batch_size` 84 - Number of frames written per CGNS file if the CGNS file name includes a format specifier (`%d`). 85 - `20` 86 87* - `-checkpoint_interval` 88 - Number of steps between writing binary checkpoints. `0` has no output, `-1` outputs final state only 89 - `10` 90 91* - `-checkpoint_vtk` 92 - Checkpoints include VTK (`*.vtu`) files for visualization.

This condition (with default `outflow_type: riemann`) is stable for both inflow and outflow, so can be used in areas that have recirculation and lateral boundaries in which the flow fluctuates. 271 272The simpler `bc_outflow` variant, `outflow_type: pressure`, requires that the flow be a strict outflow (or the problem becomes ill-posed and the solver will diverge). 273In our experience, `riemann` is slightly less reflective but produces similar flows in cases of strict outflow. 274The `pressure` variant is retained to facilitate comparison with other codes, such as PHASTA-C, but we recommend `riemann` for general use. 275 276#### Periodicity 277 278PETSc provides two ways to specify periodicity: 279 2801. Topological periodicity, in which the donor and receiver dofs are the same, obtained using: 281 282```yaml 283dm_plex: 284 shape: box 285 box_faces: 10,12,4 286 box_bd: none,none,periodic 287``` 288 289The coordinates for such cases are stored as a new field with special cell-based indexing to enable wrapping through the boundary. 290This choice of coordinates prevents evaluating boundary integrals that cross the periodicity, such as for the outflow Riemann problem in the presence of spanwise periodicity. 291 2922. Isoperiodicity, in which the donor and receiver dofs are distinct in local vectors. This is obtained using `zbox`, as in: 293 294```yaml 295dm_plex: 296 shape: zbox 297 box_faces: 10,12,4 298 box_bd: none,none,periodic 299``` 300 301Isoperiodicity enables standard boundary integrals, and is recommended for general use. 302At the time of this writing, it only supports one direction of periodicity. 303The `zbox` method uses [Z-ordering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve) to construct the mesh in parallel and provide an adequate initial partition, which makes it higher performance and avoids needing a partitioning package. 304 305### Advection 306 307For testing purposes, there is a reduced mode for pure advection, which holds density $\rho$ and momentum density $\rho \bm u$ constant while advecting "total energy density" $E$. 308The advection problems can be run in both 2D and 3D, based on the DM defined for the problem. 309The following additional command-line options are available: 310 311:::{list-table} Advection Runtime Options 312:header-rows: 1 313 314* -
