[108]156This

158(vertical profiles, spectra, 2d cross-sections, 3d volume data). By

160interval
161length is limited by the parameter <a href="#dt_data_output_av">dt_data_output_av</a>.

[5]382In order to speed-up performance, the Poisson equation for perturbation
[48]383pressure (see <a href="#psolver">psolver</a>) can
384be called only at the last substep of multistep Runge-Kutta
385timestep schemes (see <a href="chapter_4.1.html#timestep_scheme">timestep_scheme</a>)

[5]388In many cases, this sufficiently reduces the divergence of the velocity

793the x-values of the data points can be normalized with respect to
794certain quantities (e.g. the near-surface heat flux) in order to ensure
795a better comparability. This type of normalization then applies to all
796profiles of one coordinate system (panel). The normalization quantities
797are re-calculated for each output time of each individual profile. If
798temporally averaged profiles are output (see <a href="#averaging_interval_pr">averaging_interval_pr</a>),
799then the normalization quantities are also temporally averaged
800accordingly. If the value of a normalization quantity becomes zero,
801then normalization for the total respective coordinate system (panel)
[108]802is switched off automatically (also for the y-axis).<br>

1427expects a character string (up to 100 characters long) for each

1429drawn into this system (all available profiles and their respective
1430names are described at parameter <a href="#data_output_pr">data_output_pr</a>).

[48]1511For example if <b>data_output_pr</b> = <span style="font-style: italic;">'u'</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">'v'</span> was assigned,
1512then
[5]1513the plot only consists of one panel, since no profiles of the potential
1514temperature were output. On the other hand, if profiles were assigned
1515to <b>data_output_pr </b>whose names do not appear in <b>cross_profiles</b>,
1516then the respective profile data are output (<a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOT1D_DATA">PLOT1D_DATA</a>)

[48]5628of 3d volume data may need huge amounts of disc storage

86702d-net (this is
8671favored on machines with fast communication network and/or large number of processors (&gt;256)). In case of a
86722d-net, it is tried to make it more or less square-shaped. If, for
8673example, 16 processors are assigned (-X 16), a 4 * 4 processor net is
8674generated (<span style="font-weight: bold;">npex</span>
8675= <span style="font-style: italic;">4</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">npey</span>

8679since then the number of ghost points at the lateral boundarys of

[108]9480If <a href="#mg_cycles">mg_cycles</a>
[5]9481is set to its optimal value, the computing time of the
[48]9482multi-grid scheme amounts approximately to that of the direct solver <span style="font-style: italic;">poisfft</span>, as long as
9483the number of
[5]9484grid points in the three directions
9485of space corresponds to a power-of-two (2<sup>n</sup>)
[48]9486where <i>n</i> &gt;= 5 must hold. With large <i>n,
[108]9487            </i>the
[5]9488multi-grid scheme can even be faster than the direct solver (although
9489its accuracy is several orders of magnitude worse, but this does not
9490affect the accuracy of the simulation). Nevertheless, the user should
9491always carry out some test runs in order to find out the optimum value
9492for <a href="#mg_cycles">mg_cycles</a>,
9493because the CPU time of a run very critically depends on this

[5]9509With parallel runs, starting from a certain grid level the

[108]9667      <p>A
[48]9668so-called Rayleigh damping is applied to all prognostic
[5]9669variables if a non-zero value is assigned to <b>rayleigh_damping_factor</b>.&nbsp;
9670If switched on, variables are forced towards the value of their
9671respective basic states (e.g. the geostrophic wind). The intensity of
9672damping is controlled by the value the <b>rayleigh_damping_factor</b>
9673is assigned to.
9674The damping starts weakly at a height defined by <a href="#rayleigh_damping_height">rayleigh_damping_height</a>
[48]9675and rises according to a sin<sup>2</sup>-function to its
9676maximum value

[108]9688      <p>This method
[5]9689effectively damps gravity waves, caused by boundary layer convection,
9690which may spread out vertically in the inversion layer and which are
[108]9691reflected&nbsp;at the top (ocean: bottom)
[5]9692boundary. This particularly happens with the upstream-spline scheme

9694or <a href="chapter_4.1.html#scalar_advec">scalar_advec</a>).
9695Therefore, with this scheme the Rayleigh damping is switched on (<b>rayleigh_damping_factor</b>
[48]9696= <i>0.01</i>) by default. Otherwise it remains switched

11002since several actions still have to be carried out after time
11003integration has finished (e.g. writing of binary data for the restart
11004run, carrying out output commands, copying of local files to their
11005permanent destinations, etc.) which also takes some time. The maximum

13016By
[116]13017default, particles are sorted in memory in a way that their order
13018follows the order in which the gridpoint values are stored. This may
13019improve cache coherence in case of larger numbers of particles and
13020gridpoints. However, since the sorting itself is time consuming and
13021since the requirement of sorting depends on the strength of mixing in
13022the flow, performance can be improved if the sorting is applied only
[354]13023after certain time intervals. The proper length of this interval <span style="font-weight: bold;">dt_sort_particles</span> must be determined empirically by carrying out test runs with different intervals. Check file <a href="chapter_3.4.html#CPU_MEASURES">CPU_MEASURES</a> to find the value of <span style="font-weight: bold;">dt_sort_particles</span> which gives the best performance.<br>

[108]14430The viscous friction (in case of a velocity difference
[61]14431between
[5]14432particles and surrounding fluid) depends on the particle radius which

14446each group can be assigned a different value. If the number of values

14448is less than the number of

14450then the last assigned value is used for all remaining groups. This

[108]14862These

14864the Monte-Carlo random-walk method described by Weil et al. (2004, JAS,
1486561,
148662877-2887). When using this method, the timestep for the advancement of
14867the particles is limited by the so-called Lagrangian time scale. This
14868may be smaller than the current LES timestep so that several particle
14869(sub-) timesteps have to be carried out within one LES timestep. In
14870order to limit the number of sub-timesteps (and to limit the CPU-time),
14871the minimum value for the particle timestep is defined by the package
[108]14872parameter <a href="#dt_min_part">dt_min_part</a>.<br>

[5]17229Calculation of spectra requires cyclic boundary conditions
17230along the respective directions (see <a href="chapter_4.1.html#bc_lr">bc_lr</a>
[48]17231and <a href="chapter_4.1.html#bc_ns">bc_ns</a>).For
17232historical reasons, data can also be output in ASCII-format on local
17233files <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOTSP_X_DATA">PLOTSP_X_DATA</a>
17234and/or <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOTSP_Y_DATA">PLOTSP_Y_DATA</a>
17235(depending on the direction(s) along which spectra are to be
17236calculated; see <font><a href="chapter_4.2.html#spectra_direction"><span lang="en-GB"><font face="Thorndale">spectra_direction</font></span></a>),</font>
17237which are readable by the graphic software <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>. See
17238parameter <a href="chapter_4.2.html#data_output_format">data_output_format</a>
17239for defining the format in which data shall be output.&nbsp;Within
17240these file, the spectra are ordered with respect to their
[5]17241output times. Spectra can also be temporally averaged (see <a href="chapter_4.2.html#averaging_interval_sp">averaging_interval_sp</a>
[48]17242).&nbsp;<font><a href="chapter_4.2.html#spectra_direction"><span lang="en-GB"></span></a>Each data point of a
17243spectrum is output in a single line (1st column:
[5]17244wavenumber, 2nd column: spectral coefficient). If spectra are to be
17245calculated and output for more than one height (see </font><font><a href="chapter_4.2.html#comp_spectra_level"><span lang="en-GB"><font face="Thorndale">comp_spectra_level</font></span></a></font><font>),
17246the spectral coefficients for the further heighs can be found in the
17247subsequent columns. </font>The order
17248of the data in the file follows the order used in the assignment for <b>data_output_sp</b>
[493]17249(<b>data_output_sp</b> = <span style="font-style: italic;">'u'</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">'v'</span>,&#8230;
[5]17250means that the file starts with the spectra of the u-component,
[48]17251followed by the v-component spectra, etc.). Additional to the files
17252PLOTSP_X_DATA and PLOTSP_Y_DATA which contain
[5]17253the data,
17254PALM creates NAMELIST parameter files (local name <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOTSP_X_PAR">PLOTSP_X_PAR</a>
17255and <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOTSP_X_PAR">PLOTSP_Y_PAR</a>)
17256which can be used as parameter input file for the plot software <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/profil_intro.html">profil</a>.
17257Spectra can be directly plotted with <span style="font-weight: bold;">profil</span>
17258using the data and the corresponding parameter file. The
17259plot layout is
17260steered via the parameter input file. The vertical levels for which
[48]17261spectra are to be plotted must be given by <font><a href="chapter_4.2.html#plot_spectra_level"><span lang="en-GB"><font face="Thorndale">plot_spectra_level</font></span></a></font><font><a href="chapter_4.2.html#comp_spectra_level"><span lang="en-GB"></span></a></font>. <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Otherwise, no

[5]17263will appear on the plot, although data are available on file. All
