Algorithm Options

The following inputs must be preceded by “incflo.”

Description

Type

Default

advection_type

Advection scheme (options: Godunov, MOL, BDS). BDS is not available with an EB geometry

string

Godunov

advect_momentum

Advect momentum (otherwise use convective differencing)

bool

false

advect_tracer

evolve the tracer equation(s)?

bool

false

trac_is_conservative

Is tracer conserved? If specified, one entry required per tracer

int

1

ntrac

number of tracers

int

1

use_temperature

include temperature equation? (not available with MOL)

bool

false

constant_density

Only evolve the continuity equation if false

bool

true

ro_0

density (if constant)

Real

1.0

diffusion_type

Diffusion type (0 = Explicit, 1 = Crank-Nicolson, 2 = Implicit)

int

2 (Implicit)

mu

viscosity (if constant)

Real

1.0

mu_s

scalar diffusivity

Real(s)

0.0

mu_T

thermal conductivity

Real

0.0

use_divu_source

Use the constraint \(\nabla \cdot U = S\) instead of \(\nabla \cdot U = 0\) (see the Fluid Equations section). Requires advection_type = Godunov and the nodal projection; not yet implemented with embedded boundaries, RZ, direction dependent boundaries, or refinement ratios other than 2 or 4

bool

false

use_cc_proj

Use cell-centered rather than nodal pressure; this changes the approximate projection we use

bool

false

use_tensor_solve

In velocity solve, use multicomponent \(\nabla \cdot \tau\) otherwise use separate solves for each velocity component

bool

true
