Running POLYFLOW

POLYFLOW generates several results files for different


purposes once the problem is solved.

Results file (with res extension by default)


This contains the nodal variables of the unknown fields in
ASCII format. This file cannot be used for post-processing
purposes.
p p It is used to restart a calculation from a p
previous
simulation result.

Solver

There are three solver blocks in the listing file.


Preprocessor
The first block calculates the fully-developed velocity
profile at the inflow as well as the normals along the free
surface.
F.E.M.Task 1
The second block computes the main flow (taking the
result of the 1D calculation as a boundary condition along
the inlet) and the location of the free surface.

Post--Processor
Post
The third block computes the stream function, taking the
velocity field as the input data.
