Structured meshes of increasing density have been used to perform a grid convergence study. The following four meshes have been used:
54+
55+
- 65x60 - 3556 quadrilaterals
56+
- 80x74 - 5442 quadrilaterals
57+
- 94x88 - 7649 quadrilaterals
58+
- 108x102 - 10267 quadrilaterals
59+
60+
The length of the domain in streamwise direction is 80D. the width is 20D. Additionally, an inlet section with a length of 30D is included upstream of the jet exit, in order to achieve fully-developed turbulent pipe flow.

If you would like to run the bump-in-channel problem for yourself, you can use the files available in the [SU2 V&V repository](https://github.com/su2code/VandV/tree/master/rans/SANDIA_jet). The configuration file, as well as the grids in GEO format, are provided.

The experimental results for the mean density are given in Sandia’s database, but these are directly computed from the mixture fraction by making use of the ratio between the density of propane and air. The ratio that is being used for this purpose is 1.6$$^{2}$$, whereas the expected ratio is lower. The higher density ratio used in the post-processing of the experimental data results in a wider
136+
density range across the domain, which can partly explain the differences between the experimental data and the numerical results on the density along the jet centerline. The spreading rate of a jet is independent of the initial density ratio $$^{2}$$.
