Correction to SuperLatticeTimeAveragedCrossCorrelationF3D

[ramirofreile]

Hello,

I believe I spotted a small error on line 156 of file superLatticeTimeAveraged3D.hh for the calculation of the Reynolds stresses. An additional division by _ensembles is needed. Please see the corrected code below:

template <typename T>
bool SuperLatticeTimeAveragedCrossCorrelationF3D<T>::operator() (T output[], const int input[])
{
……
output[iDim] = _sDataMN.getBlock(iCloc).get(input+1,iDim)/_ensembles -_sDataM.getBlock(iCloc).get(input+1,iDimM)*_sDataN.getBlock(iCloc).get(input+1,iDimN)/_ensembles/_ensembles;
……
};

Thank you,

Ramiro Freile

Dear Ramiro,

thank you for the bug report.

We will have a look and get back to you soon.
Meanwhile, could you please explain your suggestion?

Hi Stephan,

If you take a look at SuperLatticeTimeAveraged3D.hh, in line 64 (current Doxygen), you will see that the expression matches the expression I wrote in my first bug report message.

Mathematically, the cross correlation of two fields ends up being equal to

CrossCorr = (uv)_av – u_av v_av ,

where _av denotes a time average. Each time average is the sum of N observations divided by _ensembles.
Thus, the first term requires a single division by _ensembles and the second term requires a double division by _ensembles.

In my simulations I notices that the Reynolds stresses never converged and kept increasing in value.

Thank you,

Ramiro Freile

Dear Ramiro,

thanks again for your post, and for fixing the bug.
We will include the correction.
