sudhakar Guest Posts: n/a	Hi, I have simulated flow past circular cylinder at Re of 40 and am able to capture the attached vortices downstream of the cylinder. Now, I want to measure the circulation of both the vortices. Is there any simple way to measure it? Shall I plot vector plot of velocity in tecplot and create a closed contour around which we get circulation automatically?
