thank you so much, yes it works, .. however I am wondering if still I can use "velocity u.gradient y" as "dUx/dy" in CFD-Post, if so, would you please let me know why the unit does not pop up in drop down menu in cfd-post for "velocity u.gradient y"
Thank you again |

Sorry, I thought you were asking an mathematical expression $u\cdot\nabla y$ which results in the y-component of velocity. In CFD-Post, "velocity u.gradient y" is a CEL expression and represents "dUx/dy", as you have mentioned.
You should click the ellipsis (..., indicating more variables) beside the drop-down list to get this variable. |
