[General] pressure dimension in paraview

cyndy M · June 8, 2016, 04:04

hello everyone,
I'm plotting the pressure with paraview and I have awkward values (negative pressure).
I want to know what is the dimension of the pressure in paraview by default.
Thank you

ParaView doesn't have a default dimension of pressure. It depends on your software. if you use OpenFOAM, then the dimension for pressure is m2/s2.

Note: Units for the pressure field in OpenFOAM depend on the solver being used to simulate. Incompressible flow solvers use m2/s2 (also known as kinematic pressure), but compressible flow solvers use Pa (Kg.m/s2, if I remember correctly).
