Axial Velocity Contour in non-planar bend

omidmd · March 9, 2014, 12:39

Hi guys,

I simulated a fluid flow in a non-planar bend in which the inlet and outlet surfaces are not placed in the same plane. The bend consists of two 90 degree bends. I would like to see axial velocity in different sections through the pipe.
I could have seen total velocity contour, but my problem is in plotting axial velocity. The axial vector is not along coordinates, but I have the normal vector at each plane.
Do you have any idea how to get axial velocity contour via post-processing in FLUENT?

Thanks,
Omid.

hi omid
I have the same problem.did you find answer?
please help me if it is possible

Hi guys,
I am soloving the same thing. Did you find some solution to have the relevant axes for the axial velocity? I would appreciate your answer.
