[General] Wall Shear and LIC

plucas · August 15, 2018, 13:44

I am exporting to Paraview using Fluent. I export Wall Shear using Fluent, however, I cannot seem to use this Wall Shear to show the oil flow on the surface of a wall. It will show the LIC using velocity with cut planes though. What am I doing wrong here? I cannot seem to solve this issue.

Figured out the solution. Will post for others

When exporting the encase gold file from Fluent, make sure to export x, y, and z of wall shear. Now when in paraview, use the calculator function.

(iHat*x_wall_shear)+(jHat*y_wall_shear)+(kHat*z_wa ll_shear)

Once that is done, wall shear is now a vector
