Description

Enables to modify coefficients for standard upwind formulation previously defined from Starter Input or from previous run.

η1   η2   η3

Data

Description

η1

Upwind coefficient on ALE momentum transport (See Comment 2)

Default = 1.0  (Real)

0 η1 ≤ 1 (full upwind)

η2

Upwind coefficient on other ALE transports (mass, energy ...)

Default = 1.0  (Real)

0 η2 ≤ 1 (full upwind)

η3

Upwind coefficient for wet area (See comment 3)

Default = 1.0  (Real)

0 η3 ≤ 1

Comments

1.This option can be used with ALE or Eulerian modeling.
2.This η2 coefficient has no influence if Taylor Galerkine (/UPWM/TG) or Streamline Upwind (/UPWM/SUPG) formulation is defined, except for multi-material law51 (/MAT/MULTIMAT).
3.η3 is a coefficient for multi-phase law. η3 is only available for multi-material law51 (/MAT/MULTIMAT).

η3 =1 is stable, but diffusive.

η3 =0 is less diffusive, but might be unstable.
