hi,
I am new to cfd...

I was running testcase incomp_euler NACA0012
I am getting conservative_1, conservative_2 ........ pressure zero at freestrem

can anyone please help, how to convert this to actual velocity and pressure distribution...

Hi Chandan,

for the incompressible solver the conservative variables are pressure, velocity_x, velocity_y, velocity_z. The pressure is always non-dimensionalized using the dynamic free-stream pressure and measures deviations from the free-stream pressure.

That is, the non-dimensional pressure p is defined as

p = (p* - p*_inf)/(rho_inf*u_inf^2)

where the * indicates dimensional values and inf values at the free-stream. And since p* = p*_inf at the free-stream boundary, the pressure p is zero there.
