Indicates whether the source terms in transposed gradient and velocity divergence should be taken into account in the momentum equation. In the compressible module, these terms also account for the volume viscosity (cf. viscv0 and iviscv) :
Option to switch on massflux predcition befor momentum solving to be fully conservative in momentum over time for variable density flows. This option is to be removed.
indicates whether the dynamic field should be frozen or not:
1: true
0: false (default)
In such a case, the values of velocity, pressure and the variables related to the potential turbulence model ( , , , , , , turbulent viscosity) are kept constant over time and only the equations for the scalars are solved.
Also, if iccvfg = 1, the physical properties modified in cs_user_physical_properties will keep being updated. Beware of non-consistencies if these properties would normally affect the dynamic field (modification of density for instance).
Useful if and only if nscal 0 and the calculation is a restart.
iescal indicates the calculation mode for the error estimator iespre, iesder, iescor or iestot for the Navier-Stokes equation:
0: estimator not calculated,
1: the estimator is calculated, without contribution of the volume,
2: the estimator is calculated, with contribution of the volume (norm ), except for iescor, for which is calculated. The names of the estimators appearing in the log and the post-processing are made up of the default name (given before), followed by the value of iescal}. For instance, EsPre2 is the estimator iespre calculated with iescal = 2.
1: impose the equilibrium of the static part of the pressure with any external force, even head losses
2: compute an hydrostatic pressure due to buoyancy forces before the prediction step
0: no treatment (default) When the density effects are important, the choice of iphydr = 1 allows to improve the interpolation of the pressure and correct the non-physical velocities which may appear in highly stratified areas or near horizontal walls (thus avoiding the use of extrag if the non-physical velocities are due only to gravity effects).
The improved algorithm also allows eradicating the velocity oscillations which tend to appear at the frontiers of areas with high head losses.
In the case of a stratified flow, the calculation cost is higher when the improved algorithm is used (about 30% depending on the case) because the hydrostatic pressure must be recalculated at the outlet boundary conditions: see icalhy.
On meshes of insufficient quality, in order to improve the convergence, it may be useful to increase the number of iterations for the reconstruction of the pressure right-hand side, i.e. nswrsm.
If head losses are present just along an outlet boundary, it is necessary to specify icalhy = 0 in order to deactivate the recalculation of the hydrostatic pressure at the boundary, which may otherwise cause instabilities. Please refer to the handling of the hydrostatic pressure section of the theory guide for more informations.

indicates the algorithm for velocity/pressure coupling:
0: standard algorithm,
1: reinforced coupling in case calculation with long time steps
Always useful (it is seldom advised, but it can prove very useful, for instance, in case of flows with weak convection effects and highly variable viscosity).
