1. axes :
   • x(i) : downstream direction
   • y(j) : normal direction
   • z(k) : spanwise direction
2. origin :
   • $x_0= 0$ : the step
   • $y_0= 0$ : the bottom wall of the domain
   • $z_0= 0$ : the left side of the computational domain

• Density : mass density of the fluid ($\rho_0$)
• Length : step height ($H$)
• Velocity : inlet bulk velocity ($U_i$)
• Dynamic viscosity : dynamic viscosity of the fluid ($\mu_0$)
• Reynolds number : $Re_H= \frac{\rho_0.U_i.H}{\mu_0}= 6000$

• velocity : $U^*=\frac{U}{U_i}$
• density : $\rho^*= \rho/\rho_0= 1$
• coordinates : $x*=\frac{x}{H}$, $y^*=\frac{y}{H}$ , $z^*=\frac{z}{H}$

1. Domain scope
   • Downstream direction(x) : $L^*= 36.0$
   • Normal direction (y) : $H_t^*= 2.0$
   • Spanwise direction (z) : $l^*= 2\pi$
   • Step position : $L_s^*= 12.0$
   • Step height : $H^*= 1$
2. Boundary conditions
   • Inlet : Uniform profile at $X_{in}^*= -12.0$
   • Outlet : Orlansky's type at $X_{out}^*= 24.0$
   • Wall conditions : Top and low walls of the domain
   • Periodicity : lateral ends of the domain
3. Domain decomposition (160 MPI subdomains)
   • Along the downstream direction :
     • 12 (between the inlet and the outlet, above the step)
     • 8 (between the step and the outlet)
   • Along the normal direction : 4
   • Along the spanwise direction : 4
   • 2D sketch of domain decomposition in a plan {xy} (MPI process distribution (1))

4. Spatial resolution :
   • Grid : $128 \times 64 \times 64$ per subdomain (83.886.080 cells over the domain)
   • About cell-size
     • $\Delta x_{min}^*= 1.0 \, 10^{-3} \quad \Delta x_{max}^*= 2.456 \,10^{-2}$ (downstream direction)
     • $\Delta y_{min}^*= 1.1 \, 10^{-3} \quad \Delta y_{max}^*= 1.653 \,10^{-2}$ (normal direction)
     • $\Delta z_{min}^*=\Delta z_{max}^*= 2.4543 \, 10^{-3}$ (spanwise direction)
