Test Options

Several user-controlled options have been provided as an aid to modifying Wind-US. These options all may be selected by using the keyword TEST in the input data file. The test options typically control program features which are under test, and have not been accepted for production use. Each test option is of the form

   TEST number mode

If mode is not described for a given test option, the user should use mode = 1 to activate that option.

As test options are accepted, they are "hard wired" into the code and the test option described here becomes meaningless. Test options may also be rejected based on trial runs. In that case, the option code described here will also become meaningless. For this reason, the list of valid options is not consecutive. Selection of an invalid option will be accepted by Wind-US, but will have no effect.

The various test options and modes are described below. For each option, the subroutines referencing that option are listed in parentheses.

Non-Production Test Options

number    Description

2Designed for parallel processing data transfer debugging

    mode   Result
1 Don't read zonal boundary data (evrwbd)
2 Not used
4 Don't solve zone (evsolv)
8 Don't write zonal data (evwzon)
16 Don't write zonal boundary data (evrwbd)
32 Not used
64 Not used
128 Not used
256 Don't update boundary conditions (lpschm)

Set mode equal to the sum of the desired actions.

3Parallel processing task tracing

    mode   Action
1Trace event reads/writes (rwev)
2Trace file I/O (rwnh, rwd, rwi, rwr)
4Trace network traffic (psexit, psrwev, psrwgv, psrwnh, psrwc, psrwd, psrwi, psrwr, rwbc)
8Trace task begin/end (psspwn, tskbeg, tskidl)
16Print task queue for debugging (psqprt)

Set mode equal to the sum of the desired actions. I.e., setting mode = 5 will trace both event reads/writes and network traffic.

5Flag for procedure used in gas1 to compute effective specific heat ratio β and sound speed a for frozen and finite-rate chemistry.

    mode   Procedure
> 0Iterate on pressure, with a maximum of mode iterations
< 0Iterate on temperature, with a maximum of 20 iterations

The default is to iterate on pressure, with a maximum of 20 iterations. (gas1)

6Write .cfl file compatible with the "old" code (asnsx, asvisc)

7Do not use high performance C I/O interface (openf)

8Use Version 2 common files (cftopn, mpinit, openf, zhinit)

9For mode = 1, run a verification case using the method of manufactured solutions. If mode = 2, in addition to running the case, Plot3d function files named mms.exact.fxn, mms.cfd.fxn, and mms.error.fxn are written containing the exact solution, the Wind-US solution, and the error.

The functional forms for the primitive variables are combinations of sine and cosine functions, and are coded in subroutines mms_3d_euler_bc and mms_3d_ns_bc for the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, respectively. The corresponding source terms for the governing equations are coded in subroutines mms_3d_euler_src and mms_3d_ns_src.

The choice of an Euler or Navier-Stokes solution is determined by the TURBULENCE keyword. If the flow is inviscid in all zones, an Euler solution is computed; otherwise, a constant-viscosity laminar Navier-Stokes solution is computed. The flow may be 2-D or 3-D, as determined by the grid file.

Multi-zone grids may be used, but the use of COUPLING MODE CHARACTERISTIC is recommended for Navier-Stokes solutions. (Viscous terms are neglected in Roe boundary coupling, and they are large in the method of manufactured solutions.)

Frozen boundary conditions must be specified in the grid file at all non-coupled boundaries. The appropriate boundary conditions for the functional forms being used will then be set automatically.

See Roach [Roach, P. J. (1998) Verification and Validation in Computational Science and Engineering, Hermosa Publishers, New Mexico], and Salari and Knupp [Salari, K., and Knupp, P. (2000) "Code Verification by the Method of Manufactured Solutions," SAND 2000-1444, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico], for more detailed information on the method of manufactured solutions. (l2norm1d, lpschm, mms_test_soln, nsrhss, pstinp, sins, tdbcni)

10Print the time step information (i.e., minimum/maximum CFL and Δt) into the .lis file every mode cycles, instead of just on the first cycle. (NSzsolv)

11Normally, the flowfield is rotated to be consistent with changes in the global angles of attack and yaw. This TEST option prevents that rotation. (Changes in the global angles may occur at the start of a restart run, if the user specifies angles that are different from the values in the .cfl file, or during a run when the FIXED_CL keyword is used.) (lpgrp)

12In the HLLC scheme, use a more accurate method for computing the wave speeds. (hllc, US_HLLC)

14Add pressure to the .cfl file for structured grids. (It's always there for unstructured grids.) (axflow)

15For the SST model with an ε limiter (the LESB keyword), modify the grid filter width Δ used in the limiter. This test option only applies to structured grids. (sst1, sst2)

    mode   Grid Filter Width
0 max(ds1, ds2, ds3, V dt, k1/2 dt)
1 max(ds1, ds2, ds3, k1/2 dt)
2 max(ds1, ds2, ds3, V dt)
3 max(ds1, ds2, ds3)

where ds1, ds2, and ds3 are the distances along the grid lines in the three directions, V is the velocity, k is the turbulent kinetic energy, and dt is the time step size.

17Use "new" Baldwin-Barth turbulence model (bbarth)

20Non-dimensionalize k and ω in the SST model the "old" way (aijkrg, aikeps, sstprtinp, sstpstprt)

21Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. (See the TURBULENCE keyword.) (goldbergprtinp, goldbergpstprt, redimsa, sabound, saprtinp, sapstprt, sinut, spalart, TURB_goldbergboundUS, TURB_saboundUS)

    mode   Result
0Use original 1992 model, with an ft2 term for laminar stabilization and a default freestream value for νt of 5.0.
1Like mode 0, except with "corrections" to the production and destruction terms. This is equivalent to the default model for WIND beta versions 4.15 to 4.92.
2Like mode 1, except without the ft2 term, and with a default freestream value for νt of 0.1. In addition, the initial value of the dependent variable is set to the freestream νt. This is equivalent to the default model for WIND versions prior to WIND beta 4.15, and includes a slight error that makes the model overly dissipative.

25In the Baldwin-Lomax model, use y+ based on wall vorticity (blomax)

26Use local values in y+ damping for the Baldwin-Lomax, Cebeci-Smith, Baldwin-Barth, and k-ε models (bbdamp, blomax, cebeci, kepy2)

29For the Cebeci-Smith model, use y+ based on wall vorticity. (algtur, cebeci)

For the k-ε models, TEST 29 is a production limiter (kelhssch, kelhssrg, keprod, kerhssch, kerhssrg, redimkeps3d)

    mode   Result
0Production limited to 20 × dissipation
1Production computed from vorticity, but not limited
2Production not limited
3Production computed from vorticity, then limited
4Production computed using 2μtSijSij, but not limited
5Production computed using 2μtSijSij, then limited

Modes 4 and 5 only apply to the Rumsey-Gatski ASM k-ε model.

30Irrotational boundary condition at freestream inflow boundaries (BC_bcfree)

31Use quadratic fit for normal derivative boundary conditions (BC_bcwall)

35Flag for LOADS summary file (frcsum)

    mode   Result
1Write file in "old format"
2Write loads on unstructured surfaces

37In wbnd2, deallocate memory used for boundary coupling data before returning (wbnd2)

40Old switch for compressibility correction in k-ε model; use K-E COMPRESSIBILITY CORRECTION instead. (keppstin)

46In the SST turbulence model, in blowing regions and bleed regions with a specified negative bleed flow rate, set μturb = 10μlam along the wall. (sstbound, TURB_sstboundUS)

47For the algebraic turbulence models, smooth turbulent viscosity in each i-plane using simple averaging. mode = number of smoothing passes. (smtvis)

48For the algebraic turbulence models, smooth turbulent viscosity in three dimensions using simple averaging. mode = number of smoothing passes. (smtvis)

49Modified Runge-Kutta smoothing (see the SMOOTHING keyword) (bdload, dampi, dampj, dampk)

    mode   Result
2No pressure switch on second-order dissipation
3No pressure switch, and an LES type filtering of nonlinear terms

51Limit the turbulent viscosity μT, such that the maximum value of μT / (μL) = mode × 1000. Suggested range is 50 < mode < 100. Do not use this option with the k-ε models; use K-E MAXIMUM TURBULENT VISCOSITY instead. (keppstin, mutlim, US_UpdateTurb)

52When using BLOW PLENUM, print a warning when the plenum total pressure is automatically raised because it was less than the local static pressure (BC_bcbled)

54Reserved for use at Boeing

55Reserved for use at Boeing

56No energy addition to fluid due to MFD equations (emdef)

57Implicit terms on for the Spalart-Allmaras and SST turbulence models (spalart, sst1, sst2)

58Store the Lorentz force in the .cfl file instead of the electric field (emdef, emzwrt)

59Apply SMOOTHING keyword values to the Spalart-Allmaras model as well as the mean flow solver. (Currently deactivated.) (spalart)

60Print warning when local and coupled normal velocities have inconsistent directions at a coupled boundary (postrbs)

61When mode = 2, all boundary conditions are applied, whether or not they're consistent with the IBLANK values. This only affects corners, where there are usually multiple boundary conditions. So, if a wall boundary at j = 1 meets an outflow boundary at i = imax, if TEST 61 2 is specified, both boundary conditions are applied. (tdbcgs)

62Compute cell areas and volumes using procedure from WIND 4 (mphzmet, nsrhsv, tdarea, vismet)

63Eliminate the "fat" boundary cells in any coordinate direction. mode = 1, 2, or 4 indicates the i, j, and k direction, respectively. Set mode equal to the sum of the desired directions. I.e., setting mode = 5 will eliminate the "fat" boundary cells in the i and k directions. (mphzmet, nsrhsv, tdarea, tdarea2, vismet)

64Remove dt from dq when computing residuals (l2norm1d)

65In marching solutions, lower the CFL number for the last marching step (NSzsolv)

66Don't update β in gas3, for ireal = 2 and ispec = 2. This test option is not recommended but will decrease run time. (gas3)

67Bleed/blowing boundaries in turbulence model solution (kebc, sabound, sstbound, TURB_goldbergboundUS, TURB_saboundUS, TURB_sstboundUS, vprtbound)

    mode   Result
0Treat bleed/blowing boundaries as no-slip walls.
1Treat bleed/blowing boundaries as slip walls in the Spalart-Allmaras, Chien k-ε, and SST models. This was the default behavior prior to WIND 5.101.
2Same as mode 0, except do not use the procedure of Wilcox [Wilcox, D. C., Turbulence Modeling for CFD, DCW Industries, 2000] to compute the boundary condition for omega in the SST model.

68If the density is zero at a coupled boundary, issue a warning, ignore the coupling data, and continue. The default is issue an error message and abort. (postrbs)

70Tolerance level for converging gas properties P, ρ, or T in gas2. Tolerance level = 0.1mode. (gas2)

71Calculation of thermodynamic properties from curve fit equations in .chm file. (aichem, aijkrg, aikeps, airgun, aixyzrg, BC_bcfreebc, BC_bcfreechar, BC_ijkfreechar, BC_usrffreechar, chpstin1, chrhsv, cpfun, genturb, gibfn, hfun, kwinflow, phinit, pstinp, tdutv1, therm1, transp, turbupd, uspeci)

    mode   Result
0 Abort if temperature exceeds the maximum for the curve fits
1 Extrapolate if temperature exceeds the maximum for the curve fits, and write a warning message to the .lis file
2 Same as mode 1, except don't write a warning message
3 If temperature is outside the range of the curve fits, use the values at the nearest limit
4 Use constant values consistent with a gas constant of 287 m2/sec2-K, and a specific heat at constant pressure of 1004.5 m2/sec2-K
5 If temperature is outside the range of the curve fits, set specific heat to value at the nearest limit and extrapolate for remaining properties

72, 73For structured grids, periodic boundaries may be established by setting up double (or larger) fringes at the boundaries using GMAN, with the boundary condition type specified as frozen. TEST options 72 and 73 provide the additional information needed to apply the boundary condition.

TEST option 72 specifies the direction(s) of periodicity, where values of 1, 2, and 4 indicate the i, j, and k direction, respectively. Set mode equal to the sum of the desired directions. E.g., setting mode = 5 means periodicity in both the i and k directions.

TEST option 73 specifies the depth of the fringes.

As an example, with TEST 72 1 (periodicity in the i direction) and TEST 73 2 (a double fringe), we have

    Conditions at   Come from
I = 1I = IDIM - 3
I = 2I = IDIM - 2
I = IDIM - 1I = 3
I = IDIMI = 4

This procedure may only be used for periodic boundaries within a single structured zone, with point-matched grids in the source and target regions. It's primarily useful for cases with higher-order differencing schemes, since the order of the scheme is preserved across the boundary. (kebc, sabound, sstbound, tdbcni, vprtbound, vsctbound)

74Include k-direction spacing when computing minimum time step in 2-D flows (tdtmst)

84Use "old" viscous metric calculation (dsolv, vismet)

85Check for zero volumes when computing viscous metrics (dsolv, vismet)

2Check; if ≤ 0 print message and stop

87Freezes supersonic inflow at initial conditions (BC_bcfreechar)

88Bypass negative T check in tdgas. This is needed for chemistry if SHF (heat of formation) varies widely since we only have an old SHF to use to estimate T. (lpschm, tdgas)

89Use "old" species flux correction method (gas1)

90Chemistry stuff (chinv)

    mode   Result
0Analytic chemistry Jacobian (ns = 5 only)
1Householder chemistry Jacobian (ns > 5)
2Solves chemistry source term explicitly

91Gas constant (BC_bcfreebc, chpstin1, therm1)

    mode   Result
1β = γ = β
2β = γ = 1.4

92Utilize operator splitting for the reacting chemistry source terms to increase the stability of the integration, allowing more efficient solution of the coupled system. A 4th-order Pade approximation is used to integrate the reaction source terms, with mode setting the number of subiterations. Setting mode = 0 indicates no operator splitting. (chimplicit, chrhss, US_chemsrc, US_chimplicit, US_GaussSeidel)

93In chemistry species diffusion terms, omit the diffusion gradient in the conduction term. This test option only applies to structured grids. (chrhsv, prtinp, rhsvfl, tdutv1)

94Turn off implicit chemistry terms. This test option only applies to structured grids. (tdimafk, tdimfu, tdimja, tdutaa)

96Apply chemistry source term over mode iterations for finite-rate non-equilibrium chemistry (US_chemsrc, chrhss)

97P. D. Thomas turbulence model scanning direction. By default, Wind-US starts at viscous walls and moves into the field. This test option forces the code to calculate turbulent parameters from any boundary, in addition to walls. (algtur)

    mode   Time Step Type
0Δt = CFL / max (λξ, λη, λζ)
1Flow angle scaling, Δt = CFL × (fξ Δξ + fη Δη + fζ Δζ), where
fξ = [1 + tan θ + tan ψ]1/2
fη = fξ tan θ
fζ = fξ tan ψ
2Velocity scaling, Δt = CFL × min (fξ Δξ, fη Δη, fζ Δζ), where
fξ = u / uξ / |uξ + c|
fη = u / uη / |uη + c|
fζ = u / uζ / |uζ + c|
3Δt = CFL × min (Δξ, Δη, Δζ) / (|u| + c)
4Δt = CFL / (λξ + λη + λζ)

106Compute the time step at the start of every cycle (even when Newton time stepping is being used), instead of at the start of every iteration. (axflow, lpgrp, lpmg, redim)

108Extrapolate freestream outflow (BC_bcfree, BC_bcfreebc)

    mode   Mach   Outflow Conditions
0< 1Hold upstream running characteristic at freestream
> 1Extrapolate all, even in boundary layer
1AllExtrapolate all, even in boundary layer

109Boundary flux treatment (roewal, tdup1)

For tdup1:

    mode   Result
0Conservative
1Upwind extrapolation from interior

For roewal:

    mode   Result
0Characteristic inflow, conservation if flow parallel to wall
1Characteristic regardless
1000Use conservative wall treatment at all boundaries

110Grid area variation limiting. Not allowed for iorder > 24, i.e., for the following Roe and Van Leer explicit operators: third-order fully upwind, fourth-order upwind-biased, fourth-order central, and fifth-order upwind-biased. (roecof)

    mode   Result
1Check, but don't print results
2Don't check

112Corrected upwind scheme at boundaries. Defaults to corrected scheme, mode > 0 uses second order smoothing with mode / 1000 as the smoothing level. Users should not use this option. (rhsupw)

113Check for reverse flow at inflow and outflow boundaries (BC_bcconf, BC_bcfree)

    mode   Result

2 Print an error message and stop
3 Set velocity to zero and continue, with no warning message. This mode only applies at outflow boundaries.

114Central difference ζ operator. (tdup1)

    mode   Result
0 Upwind
nCentral smoothing coefficient = n / 1000

115Do not rescale inviscid wall total velocity to equal adjacent value, just subtract the normal component from the adjacent value (BC_bcvel)

116Set inward pointing normal to zero in tdbcm1 at unknown grid topology points. (tdbcm1)

117 Freeze inflow boundaries, even in subsonic flow (BC_bcfreebc, BC_tst100bc)

118Singular axis fix (radavg)

    mode   Result
0Average density, momentum components, and pressure
1Average density, velocity components, and pressure

121Under-relaxation of points adjacent to singular axis (bcpinw, bcsing, kebc, relsng, sabound, sngthrm, sstbound)

    mode   Result
0 Value on axis is a radius-weighted average of the values at the adjacent points; values at the adjacent points are unchanged
nValue on axis computed as for mode 1; values at the adjacent points are computed from

Fadj = (1 − r) Fadj + r Faxis

where Fadj is the value at the adjacent point, Faxis is the axis value, and r = n / 1000.

122Allow left-handed coordinates (tdarea1, tdarea2)

123Track back pressure, mass flow, and integrated total pressure for outflow boundary conditions, writing the values into the .lis file. The back pressure will be in psi, and the integrated total pressure will be the ratio of the boundary value to the freestream value. When the MASS FLOW keyword is used, the mass flow value will actually be the ratio of the computed value to the desired value. For the other outflow boundary conditions the dimensional mass flow is written, in lbm/sec.

Note that when the MASS FLOW keyword is used, the back pressure and the mass flow are automatically written into the .lis file, whether this test option is used or not. Specifying TEST 123 will add the integrated total pressure.

Also note that when the MASS FLOW keyword is used, all three values may be extracted from the .lis file using the resplt (or resplt.pl) utility. For the other outflow boundary conditions, only the integrated total pressure can be extracted. (BC_IntgrtBnd, BC_pdsmfr)

124Write convergence information to list output (.lis) file every iteration instead of every cycle (print_res)

126Compressibility correction to Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model (blomax)

    mode   Result

127Scale printed residual by maximum residual over all time steps (print_res)

128Check the L2 norm of the residual for convergence instead of the maximum residual (l2norm1d)

131For boundary layers on j = 1 walls, set the time step in the boundary layer to a (larger) "outer" value, defined as the value at j = mode. I.e., (Δt)j = (Δt)mode for j < mode. (tdtmst)

132Renormalize, changing from total to static values. Normalizing values in the .cfl file are unchanged. (redim)

134 Second order characteristic extrapolation for adjacent conditions (BC_bcptcond)

    mode   Result
2 First order
0, 1Second order, using a minmod limiter

135Resets the time step using a weighting function between the ordinary Euler CFL number and a new "viscous CFL number", for convergence acceleration in viscous layers. The viscous CFL number is set to mode/1000. Limited testing indicates that a value of mode = 50 is stable and increases the time step near the wall by at least an order of magnitude. (tdtmst)

136Divergence checker, mode = n1 + 10 n2, where (lpgrp)

    n1   Divergence Definition
1Max residual > 1.0, L2 norm increasing
2Max residual > 5.0, L2 norm increasing
3Max residual > 10.0, L2 norm increasing

and

    n2   Action Taken When Diverging
1Terminate iteration for current cycle
2Abort run
3Reduce CFL number by 1/2 and terminate iteration for current cycle

137Butt line interpolation region for USERSPEC; smear USERSPEC conditions over 0.001 × butt line at minimum and maximum butt line (uspeci)

    mode   Result
0No interpolation

138Use large cell Jacobians at boundaries (BC_bcwall, chrhsv, mphzmet, nsrhsv, tdarea, tdarea1, tdarea2, PreWallBC, US_tdbcg, vismet)

    mode   Result
≤ 1Use large cells
2 Use large cells, central difference Jacobian
3 Throw out half cell at boundaries
5 Solve ∂P/∂n equation at walls

139Turn on grid-based flux limiter (tdup1)

140Use first-order differencing for computing (u,v,w) / ∂ξ term in vorticity used in turbulence models (vortcy)

1412nd-order wall boundary conditions (explicit) (BC_bcvel, BC_bcwall, US_tdbcg)

    mode   Result
1Second order ∂p/∂n, ∂T/∂n, and ∂utan/∂n
2Second order ∂p/∂n and ∂T/∂n, but not ∂utan/∂n

150Singular axis on symmetry planes. When symmetry plane test fails, zero this component of velocity. (bcsing)

    mode   Result
1u = 0
2v = 0
3w = 0
4do not zero any component (use average)
5v = w = 0
6u = w = 0
7u = v = 0

151For a singular axis, the value on the axis is a radius-weighted average of the values two points away from the axis, instead of the values at the adjacent points; values at the adjacent points are set to the average of the axis value and the value two points away from the axis. E.g., for a singular axis at j = 1, with the k direction "circumferential", the value on the axis is a radius-weighted average of the values at j = 3, instead of at j = 2. Then for each k, the value at j = 2 is set to the average of the values at j = 1 and j = 3. This test option overrides TEST 121. (bcpinw, bcsing, kebc, kerot, radavg, relsng, sabound, sngthrm, sstbound, vprtbound, vsctbound)

153Iteration frequency for updating pressure at outflow boundaries. The default is 5. (BC_IntgrtBnd)

154When computing values at "undefined" boundary points, and no neighboring non-hole, non-fringe, points are found, average over neighboring fringe points (bcundef, kebc, sabound, sstbound, vprtbound, vsctbound)

155For unstructured grids, extrapolate at freestream characteristic boundaries. (BC_bcfree)

157 USERSPEC inflow (uspeci)

    mode   Result
1Put USERSPEC inflow at all points in the buttline range. Do not check for above/below vehicle.
2Same as mode 1, but also ignore fuselage station check.

158Write various unstructured grid info to .lis file (opngrd)

160Pressure correction factor = mode / 1000, for specified mass flow boundary (BC_pdsmfr)

165Sets the tolerance for the distance between grid points used to determine a singular direction to 10mode/1000. The default is a tolerance of 10−8 (i.e., mode = −8000). (bcsing, direct)

168In a marching solution with the algebraic turbulence models, begin turbulent flow at streamwise station mode. (tdvis1)

170NASA Ames time step formula. (CFL increases as 1/(Δy)1/2 near the wall. Thus, Δt decreases as (Δy)1/2, not Δy as the default.) CA is scalar coefficient on CFL; i.e., CFLwall is proportional to CA. This test option has no effect if TEST 105 mode 1, 2, or 3 is used. (tdtmst)

    mode   CA
1 0.01
n0.001n

172Turn off base energy for ireal = 3 (i.e., frozen and finite-rate chemistry). (aichem, aijkrg, aikeps, aixyzrg, BC_bcfreechar, BC_ijkfreecha, BC_usrffreechar, dqlim1, gas1, gas2, gas3, gas4, gasint, genturb, redimchem, stomp, tdimfp, tdroe4, tdroe5, turbupd, US_DqLimit, US_EnsightGama, US_EnsightMach, uspeci)

174For the algebraic turbulence models, the iteration interval for updating the turbulent viscosity. The default is 1. (tdvis1)

175Boundary conditions at freestream radial outer boundaries (nzn = −6) (BC_bcfree, BC_bcfreechar, tdbcgs)

    mode   Result
0Compute characteristics from freestream conditions
1Compute characteristics from conditions at i = 1 along boundary
2Extrapolate without testing at k boundaries; treat i and j boundaries as in mode 1

177Freeze maximum residual (lpgrp)

178Insert freestream species buffer during BLOW VALVE relaxation (BC_bcbled)

179Modify solidbody rotation radius to get linear swirl profile in r, but with zero velocity not at center of rotation. mode = 1000 r0, where r0 is the radius (from the point xc, yc, zc specified using the SOLIDBODY keyword in the ARBITRARY INFLOW keyword block) for zero velocity. (rotat)

180Defines the radius of the solidbody rotation core for actuator disk free vortex modeling. mode = 1000 rcore, where rcore is the solidbody core radius. (rotat1)

182For Roe coupling, don't modify boundary states at interior face points for consistency with boundary values (tdbcgs)

185?? (gasint)

187mode / 1000 = factor for suppression of streamwise pressure gradient in a marching solution. The default is 950, and values below 800 are not recommended. When separation or strong adverse pressure gradients are causing problems, values between 800 and 900 will really help. (rhsmar, tdimfp)

189If a first-order upwind explicit operator modified for stretched grids is used (e.g., RHS ROE FIRST PHYSICAL), then TEST 189 1 must also be specified. (numprtinp)

190Outgoing wave Roe boundary treatment (pstinp, roecof, roeht, tdbcgs)

    mode   Result
0, 1Use normal Roe boundary treatment (uses boundary point in formulation)
2 Lower order by one (does not use boundary point in formulation). This option cannot be used with TVD in the same zone.
3 Use zero-order extrapolation

192Save metrics in a temporary file. After the first cycle, metrics will be read rather than computed. This eliminates the CPU resources required to re-compute the metrics each cycle, but adds significant I/O to the computation. In the past, on at least some Cray systems, this reduced the CPU time by approximately 40.8 micro-seconds / (node-cycle). On the more common platforms, however, it is generally faster to re-compute the metrics rather than store them. (lpcycl)

193Do not stop if a singular line is encountered normal to a wall (bbdamp, blinit, kepy2)

194Bypass singular viscous metric check (dsolv, mphzmet, vismet)

195When using BLOW SURFACE, print a warning when the flowfield static pressure becomes larger than the plenum total pressure, causing blowing to be turned off at that point. Note that this is a five-line message written for each iteration and each "closed" node, and could cause the .lis file to become very large very quickly. (BC_bcbled)

196Overlapping grid: print an error message if there are no points adjacent to a fringe point. (BC_norot, srfpar, tdbcgs)

197Roe self-coupling mode (pstinp)

    mode   Result
0Once per iteration, using bcself
1Once per cycle, using standard zone coupling

199Singular axis averaging; average from 1 to (max − 1), not 1 to max. (bcsing, linzero, radavg, relsng, sngthrm)

200Don't bomb for negative speed of sound in tdroe3A (tdroe3A)
