For swirling burner,there will exist recirculation zone. But I have a problem: how to display the size and length of recirculation zone in FLUENT? Thank you!

I usually plot the iso-contour of 0 axial velocity.

I meant the velocity component which is parallel to the symmetry axis of the burner (i.e. U if the symmetry axis is 0x).

I would extract the 0-isosurface (Surface->Iso-Surface) and then in Report->Surface Integrals you can check the dimensions of the surface. Regards, Robert
