The amount of data generated by a simulation may be very large. Therefore you should only save as much data as is needed for your further work. Nevertheless very large files will often be generated.
If you wish to calculate the disk space required for a single output data file the following formula can be used. The result is in bytes:
(6.7)
where N denotes time steps, J denotes points in the x-direction and K points in the y-direction.
