Boundary Layer

As graphical output the number of grid points in the boundary layer and the bound­ary layer thickness 3 in m is given in the flow solver output.

Separation

As graphical output the surface elements including characteristic points of separa­tion and reattachment plus both surface and volume elements with stagnation areas are marked in the flow solver output. Additionally the flow solver can give number of marked elements as a textual feedback.

Shock

As graphical output the volume elements including the characteristics of a shock are marked in the flow solver output. Additionally the flow solver can give a tendential prognosis of the position of the shock depending on the choice of the turbulence model. This is based on the investigations with the 2D RAE test-case.
