Timestep and Cost Analysis of Pressure- and Density-Based Methods

Jupyter Notebook here: https://git.io/fjRjL PDF Article here: http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.17472.58886 For an explicit compressible algorithm the maximum timestep one can take is dictated by both the advective and acoustic speeds in the flow. This is given by the famous CFL condition \begin{equation} V \frac{\delta t}{\Delta x} \leq 1 \end{equation} where $V$ is the maximum speed in the …

The Amazing Taylor-Green Vortex

If you’ve worked in computational fluid dynamics, then you’re probably aware of the Taylor-Green vortex – at least the two-dimensional case. A simple google search will land you on this wikipedia page. The classic solution there is presented in the form \begin{equation} u = \cos x \sin y F(t);\quad v = -\sin x \cos y …

How to Modify Video Speed with ffmpeg?

For Faster video speeds use: ffmpeg -i input.mov -filter:v “setpts=0.5*PTS” output.mov For Slower video speeds use: ffmpeg -i input.mov -filter:v “setpts=2*PTS” output.mov Note the factor multiplying PTS. If that factor is less than 1, then you get a faster video. The opposite otherwise. Thanks to: Modify Video Speed with ffmpeg
