Hi,FOAMers:
I use blockMesh to generate a complete structured mesh to simulate flows in a curved open channel. When I check the result with slices in Tecplot, it can only do slices in x,y,z direction (Cartisian Coordinate), not in i,j,k direction.
I want to make slices in streamwise direction, that is, to slice along the centerline. So far, I have found the ijkMesh in src/OpenFOAM/meshes/ijkMesh, but still don't know its usage.
I post my grid image and blockMeshDict below.
Could anyone help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!
Code:
FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      blockMeshDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

scale   1.000;
