Grid Inclination

The graphical surface output of the inclination of the grid is given as a average deviation from the wall normal vector in degree (fig. 17 & 18). Additionally the differences in the friction Cf to the results of the ideal reference grid were written out as an expected error in % (cfn • 100%).

Wall Distance y+

y+ is a standard surface output value of the flow solver TAU. With that the im­plemented sensors can calculate the estimated error caused by the wall distance (fig. 19). This represents the predicted difference to the results of a simulation with the reference grid and a very small y+ in %.
