How to visualize the streaklines in paraview/paraFoam

chandra shekhar pant · November 4, 2020, 02:32

Dear Foamers,

I have done a simulation in 3D and wanted to understand the flow over it using the streakline option, I am trying it since a long time but could not do that, could any one please help me with plotting the streakline in 3D simulations. Any comment or suggestion will be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Dear Chandra Shekhar,

It's most likely that you have figured it out by now. In case you haven't, you can use the "Stream Tracer", found in the Common and Data Analysis Filters in Paraview. You can use a point source, or a line source, depending on what you want to do.

Regards,
Mano

Hi Mano,

Thanks a lot for your help, but are the streaklines and "stream tracer" same?

Theoretically, they are the same if your flow is steady But I do not know how to generate streaklines in Paraview.

At least not yet! I hope someone comes up with a way soon.

Regards,
Mano
