I'm a little bit new in CFX. How can I plot the Re in CFX Post? Be a explicit because, as I said, I'm new.

Hello,

You need to create an expression for the Reynolds number. Go to expressions -> new, then type in Re = (density*Velocityu*(whatever your characteristic length is))/dynamic viscosity in that little box then hit apply. You need to pick the correct variable names (they get italicized). If you want it for a surface/plane you need to call it with the @ symbol i.e. velocity_u()@surface1
