Hello,
I have been recently working on vehicle aerodynamics. To start off, I ran an analysis on the Ahmed body and got accurate results. Having applied the same procedure to more complex geometry (read solar car) I seem to have gotten erroneous results.
I used hybrid initialization. Solution converged in under 500 iterations. The issue is, when I plotted the velocity contours on my symmetry plane I got this (pl. refer velocity_mag.jpg) So, I wonder what's wrong and how to interpret this result. Thank you An inexperienced, undergraduate CFD enthusiast. |

Seems, you are doing post processing in parallel mode. Try to do the post processing in serial mode and have a look on plot. |
