How to display w/m³ in post processing?

h0rst · January 6, 2017, 15:13

Hello everybody,

I am considering a tube flowed through by water. In the tube, i applied a source term (w/m³) in the cells by a UDF.

After running the process, I see the results of temperature distribution which seems to be correct.

Is it possible (and how) to visualize the joule heat distribution (coll zone conditions in w/m³)?

Best regards

Hallo,

You can put You source into UDM and plot its contours. It will be also possible to use volume intgrals to get the total power then.

Best regards, Maks
