I m trying to plot a graph of velocity magnitude vs time at a point in a turbulent flow over a flat plate using point probe but i m unable to get a graph. Can anyone help me in sorting out this problem.

Thanks
TQIM

Create an expression report.
Set your point derived part as an input part for it.
Define a report expression as sqrt($$Velocity[0]^2+$$Velocity[1]^2+$$Velocity[2]^2).
Create a monitor and a plot from your report.
Go to the monitor properties and switch the trigger from 'every iteration' to 'every time step'.

You could probably just use a sum report and only include that point.


Also, I think $$Velocity.mag() would be easier than doing the full equation.

Again, rwryne is right. There is a field function syntax to get the velocity magnitude, but isn't it mag($$Velocity)? At least that's what the user guide tells on page 4784.

Anyway, on an expression report, you can't choose any input parts, so it needs to be a sum, minimum or maximum report. All other reports don't make much sense.

Can you post the error message? I think the following post gives the correct syntax
