Using the simulation code:
- Getting started - overview of files, setup, starting and ending a job.
- Tutorial - setup a job, basic monitoring and visualisation of outputs.
- Core implementation - discretisation, timestepping and key programming elements.
- Parallel i/o - a brief note on parallel data access.
- Utilities - pre/post-processing, runtime processing and manipulations, non-problem specific codes.
Equations, properties, methods, etc.:
- Equations and parameters - Non-dimensionalisation, Navier-Stokes, Reynolds numbers.
- Differential operators in cylindrical coordinates - grad, div, curl, Laplacian, etc.
- Symmetries of pipe flow - discrete and continuous symmetries.
- Method of slices - symmetry reduction, elimination of physically irrelevant spatial shifts.
- Newton-Krylov-Hookstep (channelflow.org) - a good discussion of modern implementation of the Newton method.
