Dear all,
can someone please help me by telling me how to display the temperature gradient in the whole field? There is an option called dT/dx (dT/dy) under the display/contours menu, but it doesn´t work! :-( Thanks in advance! Last edited by Josh_Blue; May 16, 2010 at 07:47. |

hi, I did not find dT/dx in contors menue, would u plz tell me what kind of models you set up. By the way would u mind to try udfs in FLuent to get this derivative? you might need the DINFINE_EXECUTE_AT_EXIT and RG macros.
Regards, HJ Wang |

Hi, the options dT/dx and dT/dy will be activated by setting the display menu to expert: /solve/set/expert
now, i figured out how to display the contours of dT/dx and dT/dy respectively, see former thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/flu...lay-dt-dx.html but my prob is to display the total gradient of T, that means: gradT Any suggestions?? Regards |
