CFX-POST : gradients for turbulent kinetic energy

syler3321 · June 14, 2011, 20:23

Hey Guys,
I need a little help. I've already finished my cfx calculations for flow over a 2d hill. My question is: How do i get CFX post to display the gradients for turbulent kinetic energy. There are gradients for velocity but i do not see that option for kinetic energy. Can anybody help?

Cheers
Ralph

The easiest way to do what you want is to create a new variable in CFD-Post using the Gradient method. You can select any scalar field to do this, and Post will create the corresponding spatial gradients.
