KTH_Examples

This repository contains set of examples demonstrating the use of Nek5000 framework and toolboxes developed at KTH. The more in-depth description of the framework can be found at its doxygen documentation page, which contains variety of important information starting at downloading options and ending with detailed code description. List of all available tools can be found here.

Usage

All examples contain necessary files for code compilation and running the case except those, that can be easily recreated using genbox or genmap. Moreover, to reduce a number of binary files in the repository, we do not include multiple copies of the same file, so e.g. ext_cyl.re2 exists only under ext_cyl_DNS and it has to be copied to ext_cyl_LIN or ext_cyl_SFD.

Each example consists of:

• required tools source and include files
• setup source file ###.usr
• required SIZE file containing definitions of static arrays dimensions
• compilation script compile_script
• makefile_usr.inc describing compilation rules for tools files
• runtime parameters file ###.par
• mesh description; it can be ###.box or ###.re2
• README.md listing all the tools

To compile the code:

• make sure compile_script has set execute bit (chmode u+x compile_script)
• edit compile_script to set proper compilers
• clean directory ./compile_script --clean (with the first compilation on a given machine clean the libraries as well)
• build the code ./compile_script --all

To run the code:

• regenerate the mesh using genbox if ###.re2 is not present
• generate map file using genmap
• execute the code using scripts from Nek5000/bin/ directory
