streamlines pass through no slip walls
Hi,
I have a fluid flow of 2 fluid domains separated by a no-slip boundary, when I use the streamtracer filter to plot streamlines originating from one of the inlets the streamlines cross through the no-slip boundary into the adjacent flow? how can this be prevented? Regards Mark |
I also had this behavior happening to me. In my case, the wall was just a zero thickness interface between two different cavities.
I did not investigate too much about the how and the why, but I would assume that it is due to the mesh dicretization. As paraview has not been told that you have a wall, but only sees the vector field, if the velocity vector field is pointing to the wall at the boundary cell, I would assume that it just goes straight into it. You can try refining your mesh at the boundary or, if it is not an option, just don't show the unwanted/unphysical streamlines for visualisation |
I got the same issue but with just regular non-slip walls.
There is an option, streamTraces.TerminalSpeed, but didn't make things better for me. I ended up going through all SeedIDs and ignoring the ones that were too short to make any sense. Not the best solution, because I am sure some of the ones that prematurely ended were included. All in all, I think we can agree that this shouldn't happen with walls: "Production of streamlines terminates if a streamline crosses the exterior boundary of the input dataset (ReasonForTermination=1)" |
