Dear Daniel, Thanks for the reply. It is helpful to know about this. We have started working with the 3D Cartesian grid, first testing with a simple spherical diffusion problem for which an analytic solution exists. (We still make some use of symmetry, since we need to calculate only one

Don't you still have a $\nabla . \vec{u} = 0$ equation though? It doesn't go away. That equation becomes like a constraint. https://www.comsol.com/multiphysics/boussinesq-approximation On Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 5:58 AM fgendr01 wrote: > > Hi Daniel, > Thank you for your answer. > I thank you for
