Re: Blow up in nested version

Hi. Here are some questions to consider. 1) Does the nested grid run in a stand-alone configuration (i.e., not in a nested configuration)? In other words, is this an issue with the nesting or the domain? 2) Is the value of rx0 given for the nested domain or for the outer domain? I'll assume it is fo...
