[General] Vorticity contour ?

badoumba · July 25, 2017, 14:35

Hi everyone,

After having run the postProcess -func vorticity command in OF, I would like to plot the vorticity contour on a slice plane for my model, but the option "Contour by" only offers k, nut, omega, p in my case.

Everything's normal?

Thanks

Hi,

You need to separate the components or magnitude using a calculator filter, contouring can only be done on scalar fields as far as I know.

There may also be ways to do this in OpenFOAM.

Regards,
Tom

I see. I'll try to play around with it. Thanks Tom !
