Hi Developers,

A current feature of PyFR is that it can operate in any consistent system 
of units.  Would it be possible to add the ability to use a specific system 
of units; SI, for example?

At present, any scale factors used to non-dimensionalize a given PyFR case 
must be recorded separately.  The .ini file has no means of recording and 
communicating the factors used.  To give an example of the kind of question 
that can arise, one might be interested to know the viscosity of the gas 
used in a previous case.  To ascertain the answer, it is necessary to have 
both the figure specified in the .ini file and a list of the scale 
factors.  

The cylinder flow case in the paper 'Heterogeneous computing on mixed 
unstructured grids with PyFR' provides a good example of a snag with 
separate records; the .ini file is included in the supplementary material 
but the list of scale factors is not.

Best regards,

Paul Garlick
