Plot the spreading of oil on the surface of water over time

liguifan · April 27, 2013, 17:49

Good afternoon everyone!

I am working on a case that measure the oil spreading over water and I want to measure how the oil behaves over time.

Now I am able to visualize the oil spreading, however, I am not able to plot the spreading of oil from central to the wall boundary.

As far as I can think of is to use the filter: plot selection over time. I used a clip filter to exact the water only and select the surface of the water then use Plot selection over time filter to do it, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Does anyone have any idea about how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
