Mean-flow output files

Mean-flow output files#

FELiCS exports interpolated mean-flow fields as:

MeanFlow.h5

The file uses the HDF5 format and stores the mean-flow quantities used internally by FELiCS.

The exported fields are defined on the FELiCS export mesh.

The file is exported in the output directory defined by the Export.ExportFolder parameter.

Contents#

The exported quantities are not restricted to the FELiCS state vector.

The file may contain:

  • flow variables,

  • thermodynamic quantities,

  • turbulent viscosity fields,

  • sponge regions,

  • forcing and response domains,

  • and additional fields required by the selected physical models.

Variable naming convention#

The naming convention follows the same structure as the .fel input files.

Scalar variables are stored directly using their variable name.

Vector variables are stored component-wise by appending the coordinate name to the vector name.

Example:

/x
/y

/ux
/uy

/rho
