Coarse DNS of Turbulent Flow in a Reactor Coolant Passage

These images show plots of z- and time-averaged (for ~5.2 flow-through times) mean and rms axial velocity. The polynomial degree for this run was N=11 (1364660 gridpoints). The run was restarted from a calculation at N=9 that had been run for ~20 flow-through times. The domain length is .09 m.
