How to show vector of Axial velocity in 2D plane?
 

Dear all

I simulate 3D stirred tank. The height of tank is in z-direction. I have some problem about how to show vector of axial velocity in a desired plane (xz plane).

P.S. Thank in advance

Hi,
create a plane, then show vectors in that plane; in vector options select "in plane".

Thank you. Yes, I do as your comments. But, i want to show only axial velocity vector not velocity vector.

Ok, I understand.
I think it's not possible in fluent, but you can do it in cfd-post if you have it.
Simply create the plane, then create vectors on that plane and choose Projection "Coord frame" and choose as direction X or Y or Z.

Dear sir

I want to show vector like the attached figures. Please tell me the way to show these figures.

Thank in advance

I was able to do it in tecplot.
Put a tick (select) on Slices on the left.
Create the slice (plane) you want to show vectors: click on the button with "..." next to "slices"; go to vector tab and select "show vectors" (a window pops up, select U as x velocity, V as y-velocity and W as z-velocity) and "tangent vectors"; click on line color and select "multi 1"; close the slice tab.
Go to Contour tab and deselect "show contours".
Click on the button with "..." next to "contour", on the left; select from the top x-velocity (or y velocity, or z velocity); change the levels if you need;

EDIT: just to point out that what you requested is not vectors of axial velocity, but vectors of in plane velocity coloured by axial velocity.

Thank you for you help very much
