Hi ,

I am aerodynamic designer and I used CFD for some of my analysis. The Best practise guide http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Best_...omachinery_CFD suggests I use double precision for Y+<1.

I would like to know why we need to do this. I know the aspect ratios when Y+<1 condition is met, can be very high. But I don't understand why we need to use double-precision. What are the underlying mathematics that needs double-precision.

Regards
Omer
