How to plot pressure coefficent distribution arround a section of the wind blade?

Hi guys,

I am trying to simulate NREL Phase VI Blade. I want to plot the pressure coefficent distribution graph in some sections of the wind blade. I can see the pressure countours in fluent results but how can I plot it like the attached Figure or how can I get numerical data?

Use the XY Plots under Results > Plots to export data (either at nodes or cell centres).

If you want to plot pressure coefficient, then define a new variable (make a custom field function or a fancy UDF). Then plot the new field function.
