DEBUG number [mode] |
This keyword is intended for use during code development and testing. The various debug options and modes are described below. For each option, the subroutines referencing that option are listed in parentheses. If mode is not described for a given debug option, it should be set to 1 to activate that option. If mode is omitted, a default value of 1 is used.
Unless noted otherwise, these options only apply to unstructured grids.

Used to alter the viscous wall boundary condition used with the

profile to test the numerics

Bitmap used to activate the ADF memory buffer
for common files.
(openf, psinpt)
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
77 |
Bitmap that controls how the boundary flux in the
unstructured solver will be computed.
If the flags are 0, then the boundary flux is imposed by the

computed using the chosen interior scheme with the boundary
value and cell value forming the left and right states.

(US_FaceGradGG, US_rhsvisFace, US_SetGradQ)

82 |
Activate the Dacles-Mariani curvature correction to the
Spalart-Allmaras
TURBULENCE MODEL.
This correction is a simpler alternative to the standard
rotation term.
It reduces the eddy viscosity in regions where vorticity
exceeds strain rate, such as in vortex core regions where
pure rotation should not produce turbulence.
In thin shear layers, where vorticity and strain are very
close, this correction should have minimal effect.
(TURB_sasrcUS)

files.
