visc values

#1 Unread post by pelijas »

Hello,

I wonder why in the Benchmarks examples, the value of VISC2 is 5000, and in the rest of the test cases this value use to be 5.0 reaching a maximum of 100.0 in the Channel test. Why is so high?
Thanks

This thread should be moved to somewhere more appropriate... :arrow:

In general, you'd want the viscosity value to depend on the grid spacing as described here. The benchmark case is a toy problem in which one large value was used for a range of horizontal resolutions - so the damping is too high, but who cares.
