As in Ansys we can find the Element number or Grid number directly but I didn’t find any such thing in OpenLB codes. Such as for Cylinder2D code I have estimated like this:
Identify the grid resolution:The resolution N is defined as 200. The lattice length L is defined as 0.1/N.
L = 0.1 / 200 = 0.0005
The length of the domain in the x-direction (lengthX) is 2.2.
The length of the domain in the y-direction (lengthY) is 2.0.
The number of grid points in the x-direction Nx = lengthX / L.
The number of grid points in the y-direction Ny = lengthY / L.
So, Nx = 2.2 / 0.0005 = 4400
Ny = 2 / 0.0005 = 4000
Total Grid Points = Nx * Ny = 4400 * 4000 = 17,600,000Is it correct? Please help.
May 22, 2024 at 8:17 pm #8737AdrianKeymasterThe number of cells (grouped by material) is printed by the geometry statistics in the output of each case. e.g. for the default
N=10
the number of fluid cells is:[SuperGeometryStatistics2D] materialNumber=1; count=8901; minPhysR=(0.01,0.01); maxPhysR=(2.19,0.41)
May 22, 2024 at 8:33 pm #8738atanuchaudhury1994@gmail.comParticipantI am getting these output:
—————– UnitConverter information —————–

Can you please specify where I can find them?May 22, 2024 at 8:38 pm #8739AdrianKeymasterI am sorry but without at least an attempt to invest a minimum of effort on your own – in this case to simply look at the output of the example – I won’t answer any more of your very frequent and very basic questions.
If you do not see the output you probably modified the example – again – without telling us this essential detail in your post (again).
May 22, 2024 at 8:44 pm #8740atanuchaudhury1994@gmail.comParticipantThis is the code, the changes that I have made is adding Smagorinsky model, change in some parameters, put SetSlip boundary condition in upper and lower wall and made uniform flow velocity at inlet.

Thank you
May 22, 2024 at 8:47 pm #8742AdrianKeymasterGood, so the
SuperGeometry::print
call is still there which means that you did not read the output. -
