Transient Statistics for LES

Sungho Yoon

Hello! I'm still doing LES calculations for backward-facing step.

I did an initial calculation with, say, 10,000 iterations (three flowthrough times). Now, I want to do another calculation with, say, another 10,000 iterations (another three flowthrogh times). For the second calculation, I use the output file from the first calculation as a restart file.

I want to gather statistics from the second calculation based on the assumption that the data from the first calculation is not statistically meaningful. In this situation, I think I need to use 'start iteration list' in the second calculation. If I specify '10' for the start iteration list in the second calculation, does it mean that I gather statistics from the 10th step of the second calculation? Or does it mean that I gather statistics from the 10th step of the first calculation?

I appreciate your advice in advance.
