Abstract

A special set of boundary conditions has been devised with the view to break the inflow-outflow coupling associated with periodic boundary conditions. This necessitated the replacement of the FFT routines with a multigrid solver. The inclination for roll cells to develop was reduced, but not eliminated, and firm conclusions concerning their questionable reality could not be drawn.

This work has received support from The Research Council of Norway (Programme for Supercomputing) through a grant of computing time. ML was the recipient of a research fellowship offered by The Research Council of Norway under contract no. 115548/410.
