Hi, I am just getting started with PyFR for my master’s thesis. I am a bit confused when it comes to solver-interfaces and solver-elements settings in the configuration (.ini) file. I am trying to get PyFR to run on an existing mesh, but unsure how to determine what parameters to set for these parts of the configuration file. I do not see any explanation for this in the documentation, rather, it just lists the options that I can use. Thank you so much!
If you are using shock capturing, then you’ll need to use one of the closed point sets, ie Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto on quads/hex and alpha-opt points on tri/tets.
Other than that, you are free to set the interface point.
For the interface solver, Rusanov is more dissipative, and it becomes progressively less dissipative as you go from Roe to HLLC to exact. Starting with Rusanov is normally a good choice.
