[OpenFOAM] How can I compute the area of recirculation zone in pitzDaily

invadoria · November 25, 2015, 11:18

Hello,
I would like to compute the area of recirculation zone from the streamline pattern shown in the attached figure. Is it possible to compute the area of the recirculation zone in Paraview according to the outer streamline of the recirculation zone?
Best regards,
Ender

Hi Ender,

Did you find a way to do this? I am trying to calculate the volume of three different recirculation zones inside a tank but have had no luck so far.
