Miscellaneous

The file below contains the point data values for the MIT benchmark 2001 which can be plotted by gnuplot command:

plot [:] 'temperature.point' u 1:5 w p

plot [:] 'MESH.point' u 1:X w p
where MESH is the mesh name: 2R, 2R_a1, 2R_a5, 3R, 3R_a1, 3R_a4, 4R, 4R_a1, 4R_a3

and X is the variable name which are temperature at point 1(X is 5), x-velocity at point 1 (X is 3) and Nusselt number (X is 6).

2R.point
2R_a1.point
2R_a5.point
3R.point
3R_a1.point
3R_a4.point
4R.point
4R_a1.point
4R_a3.point
