Pressue in CFD post is Relative or Absolute pressure?
 

The pressure and total pressure values in cfd-post are relative pressure or absolute pressure?
I have gone through many post still it is confusing. Please clarify

Static Pressure is relative pressure
Absolute Pressure is well... absolute pressure
and Total Pressure is Total Pressure (static + dynamic). It is absolute like the Pressure.

For more details see the help in ANSYS CFX theory guide 1.1.3 then Pressure or Total Pressure

thanks Thomas for your reply...
so, if i used some reference pressure other than 0, then my total pressure is total pressure (from cfd post) + reference pressure used.. am i right?

No.
quote from ANSYS Help:
The terms Pressure and Total Pressure are absolute quantities and must be used to derive the Total Pressure when using an equation of state (compressible) formulation (particularly for Equation 1–48).

Thanks for the information

How to get the total pressure contour using absolute pressure values?
 

So, there is an option called Absolute Pressure that exports the STATIC PRESSURE+ REFERENCE PRESSURE, but if i want to export TOTAL Pressure + REFERENCE Pressure, what should I do? I have given Reference pressure as 1 atm.

There is no option available for "Absolute" Total Pressure

You can just add the Reference Pressure to Total Pressure, and you should be fine.

Thank you! Just needed to clarify that. And I'm new to this site and I didn't know where to post my question, so I added it as a reply in this thread!
