1. axes :
   • x(i) : downstream direction
   • y(j) : spanwise direction
   • z(k) : normal direction
2. origin :
   • $x_0= 0$ : left down corner
   • $y_0= 0$ : left down corner
   • $z_0= 0$ : left down corner

• Density : mass density of the fluid ($\rho_0$)
• Length : half height of the channel ($h=\frac{H}{2}=1$)
• Velocity : wall friction velocity ($u_*$)
• Dynamic viscosity : dynamic viscosity of the fluid ($\mu_0$)
• Reynolds number : $Re_H= \frac{\rho_0.u_*.h}{\mu_0}= 590$

• velocity : $U^*=\frac{U}{u_*}$
• 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) : $L_x^*= 2\pi$
   • Spanwise direction (y) : $l^*= \pi$
   • Normal direction (z) : $H^*= 2.0$
2. Boundary conditions
   • Wall conditions : Top and low walls of the domain
   • Periodicity : lateral ends of the domain in $x$ and $y$ directions
3. Domain decomposition (128 MPI subdomains)
   • Along the downstream direction : 8
   • Along the normal direction : 4
   • Along the spanwise direction : 4
4. Spatial resolution
   • Grid : $32 \times 64 \times 64$ per subdomain (16.777.216 cells over the domain)
   • About cell-size
     • $\Delta x_{min}^*= \Delta x_{max}^*= 2.45437 \,10^{-2}$ (downstream direction)
     • $\Delta y_{min}^*= \Delta y_{max}^*= 1.22718 \,10^{-2}$ (spanwise direction)
     • $\Delta z_{min}^*= 6\, 10^{-4} \quad \Delta z_{max}^*= 1.92765 \, 10^{-2}$ (normal direction)
