A detailed comparison of the results obtained using single- and double-precision numerical methods in Ansys Fluent did not reveal any noticeable discrepancies in the integral and local flow parameters as well as the spectral characteristics. It is shown that the behavior of the dynamic system of the fluid dynamic equations computed with single precision is stable by Lyapunov and does not lead to any loss of accuracy. The reconstructed attractors of the dynamic systems in phase space are limited by an ellipsoid. |
