Streamlines in Wind Turbine

FJSJ · September 3, 2013, 11:01

Hi guys,

I´m trying to deal with a streamlines picture in a wind turbine model. I´ve seen this type of picture in a several articles but I can´t get it. Someone knows about this topic in Fluent?

Here some examples from articles.

Thank you very much!

They are wall shear streamlines, but I don't know if you can gaet it in FLUENT or not. But in CFDPost you can do it.

Are you refering a streamline tool in CFDPost?

yes, but in the place where it says 3D streamline, click on it and choose surface streamlines. Then choose streamlines of wall shear, and choose black color for them. You may also choose equally spaced and the number of seed points. Also put forward and backward for the diraction of integration. I hope this helps you. Regards Gonzalo

anyone know how to change streamlines from lines to arrows, like shown in initial figure?

Hi Lino,

I think you can change the visualization options on CFD-Post software. Streamlines tool and then the third tab.

In my version only appear in streamline type: line; ribbon and tube

But yes if i change the symbol type turns to be possible perform a figure like that.
Thanks for the help
