Map a WSS Contour on a Rectangle

ashtonJ · December 9, 2013, 20:09

Dear all,

I want to map WSS contour of an artery with complex geometry on a rectangular plane. Does any body know how to do that? Thank you.

I assume you mean wall shear stress - please do not use acronyms as it just makes the forum hard for people to read.

How do you want to map the complex artery to a rectangular plane? I can think of many ways of doing it.

Sure. An image is attached in which the wall shear stress contour of a curved artery is mapped on a rectangular plane. I would like to do the same thing.

I would export the nodal data from CFD-Post and write a gizmo in python if I was doing this. You can also do it in matlab and other reasonable powerful number crunching platforms.

I cannot see a way of doing this entirely in CFD-Post.

Thanks. I have no idea about gizmo in python. Is there any documents teaching how to write gizmo in python. Thanks

Sorry for my slang - python is a programming language with lots of numerical and data visualisation modules:
http://www.python.org/
http://www.numpy.org/
http://matplotlib.org/

You can do very advanced stuff in it, but it is a programming language so if you can't program you will not get far.

And gizmo is just slang for a machine (or a program in this case)... http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gizmo
