Vorticity Magnitude at a specified surface ( 2D )
 

Hey guys,

I am doing a unsteady 2D analysis and I want to get the circulation values by integrating vorticity magnitude at a specified zone. Here is my geometry:

I want to plot the graph of circulation in the red rectangle. How should I define the zone of interest to take the surface integral of vorticity?

Should I do it by defining a new zone, line or a point?

Hi

I would recommend you to use CFD-Post. There is an option called clip plane I think. Sorry if this is not the exact name, I am not at my computer right now. Anyway, you can specify options like the size and position of this plane and then show the vorticity plot on this plane.

Thanks beer. I am going to try it.

A professor told me to use Tecplot. He said that he did similar things like I want to do.

I am going to try both and reply asap.

I am not very familiar with post processing in fluent (especially 2D), but I think a iso clip surface would do it in your case. The clip value is your mesh coordinate. Have a look at the postprocessing section in the fluent manual. It is mentioned there.
