[OpenFOAM] How do I visualize vortex shredding of square cylinder in paraview

EternalSeekerX · June 22, 2020, 15:19

Dear CFD Online Forumers/Paraviewers,

I hope everyone is doing well! I am currently trying to solve and visualize a square cylinder vortex shredding tutorial from here:
https://wiki.openfoam.com/Vortex_she...el_Guerrero_3D

So far I'm currently solving the LES model but I have done the RANS already. When running paraFoam I get this:

However I want to get it like this:

So how do I get the view to change like this and how do I get the vortex to visualize like that? I already computed Q in openfoam with the post process flag. Just wondering what I am missing?
