Getting streamfunction field by post processing the velocity field
 
Hi CFD guys,

I developed a collocated 2D CVFEM code for unstructured grids and I want to get the streamfunction field from the velocity field I get when I solve the momentum and continuity equations.

How can I do this???

Thanks in advance...

a choice: you can compute the vorticity field rot V then solving for Div Grad Psi = rot V

Thanks FMDenaro but for solving this I need boundary conditions, so my next question is what are the boundary conditions for this system?

Thank you very much FMDenaro...

when you know the velocity on the boundary then you know also the Psi assignment....
