Outputs

Simulations are only valuable, if the calculated data is accessible for post-processing. The data simulatedd with DINO is stored in subdirectories and files in the run folder.

• data_restart: Restart files named dino_* are stored here at different, prescribed time steps (see here.) All restart files contain the full solution corresponding and simulations can -- as the name already says -- be restarted from any fo these files.

• data_timevol: The time evolution of corresponding variables (density, pressure, temperature, heat release rate, time step, velocity, species mole/mass fractions, turbulence statistics, ...) are stored in dino_timev_<variables>.dat files. The columns usually represent time, mac value, min value and an average over the whole domain. A detailed definition can be found in the respective subroutine.

• data_hdf5: Binary hdf5 data files are placed here for post-processing and detailed analysis. Each dino_res_*.h5 file contains the full solution, and the temporal frequency to write these files can be specified in the SAVING block of the DINO_IN file.

• follow_on: Information about the running simulation, such as the time step, time step control, processor configuration etc. is periodically updated during a running simulation in this file.

• ctrl_turb_generation: If turbulent computations are performed, the in and ouput information regarding turbulent parameters is stored here.
