It is often important to predict the flow field and tem-perature field in the area of the mixing region in order to properly design the junction.This tutorial demonstrates how to do the following:2.1. Create a Working Directory2.2. Launch CFD-Post2.3. Display the Solution in CFD-Post2.4. Save Your Work2.5. Generated FilesProblem DescriptionThe problem to be considered is shown schematically in Figure 2.1: Problem Specification (p.4). A cold fluid at 20° C flows into the pipe through a large inlet and mixes with a warmer fluid at 40° C that enters through a smaller inlet located at the elbow.The pipe dimensions are in inches, but the fluid properties and boundary conditions are given in SI units.The Reynolds number for the flow at the larger inlet is 50,800, so the flow has been modeled as being turbulent.NoteThis tutorial is derived from an existing Fluent case.The combination of SI and Imperial units is not typical, but follows a Fluent example.Because the geometry of the mixing elbow is symmetric, only half of the elbow is modeled.3Release 15.0 - © SAS IP, Inc.

Notice how the mousecursor changes depending on where you are in the viewer, particularly near the edges:Figure 2.2: Orientation Control Cursor TypesThe geometry rotates based on the direction of movement. If the mouse cursor has an axis (which happens around the edges), the object rotates around the axis shown in the cursor.The axis ofrotation is through the pivot point, which defaults to be in the center of the object.TipSee Mouse Button Mapping for details about other features that you can access with themouse.Now explore orientation options:1.Right-click a blank area in the viewer and select Predefined Camera > View From -X.2.Right-click a blank area in the viewer and select Predefined Camera > Isometric View (Z Up).3.Click the “Z” axis of triad in the viewer to get a side view of the object.Post-processing Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Mixing Elbow4.Click the three axes in the triad in turn to see the vector objects in all three planes; when you are done,click the cyan (ISO) sphere.Now explore the differences between the orienting controls you just used and select mode.1.Click to enter select mode.2.Hover over one of the wireframe lines and notice that the cursor turns into a box.3.Click a wireframe line and notice that the details view for the wireframe appears.4.Right-click away from a wireframe line and then again on a wireframe line. Notice how the menuchanges:Figure 2.3: Right-click Menus Vary by Cursor Position5.In the Outline tree view, select the elbow1 > fluid > wall check box; the outer wall of the elbow be-comes solid. Notice that as you hover over the colored area, the cursor again becomes a box, indicating that you can perform operations on that region.When you right-click the wall, a new menu appears. 6.Click the triad and notice that you cannot change the orientation of the viewer object. (The triad isavailable only in viewing mode, not select mode.)7.In the Outline tree view, clear the elbow1 > fluid > wall check box; the outer wall of the elbow disap-pears.2.3.2. Create an Instance ReflectionCreate an instance reflection on the symmetry plane so that you can see the complete case:1.With the 3D Viewer toolbar in viewing mode, click the cyan (ISO) sphere in the triad.This will make it easy to see the instance reflection you are about to create.2.Right-click one of the wireframe lines on the symmetry plane. (If you were in select mode, the mousecursor would have a “box” image added when you are on a valid line. As you are in viewing mode there is no change to the cursor to show that you are on a wireframe line, so you may see the general shortcut menu, as opposed to the shortcut menu for the symmetry plane.) See Figure 2.3: Right-click Menus Vary by Cursor Position (p.14).3.From the shortcut menu, select Reflect/Mirror . If you see a dialog box prompting you for the direction of the normal, choose the Z axis.The mirrored copy of the wireframe appears.TipIf the reflection you create is on an incorrect axis, click theUndo toolbar icon twice.2.3.3. Show Velocity on the Symmetry PlaneCreate a contour plot of velocity on the symmetry plane:1.From the menu bar, select Insert > Contour . In the Insert Contour dialog box, accept the default name,and click OK .2.In the details view for Contour 1, set the following:Value Setting Tabsymmetry a LocationsGeometry Velocity b Variablea Notice how the available locations are highlighted in the viewer as you move the mouse over the objects in the Locations drop-down list.You could also create a slice plane at a location of your choice and define the contour to be at that location.bVelocity is just an example of a variable you can use. For a list of Fluent variables and their CFX equivalents, see Fluent Field Variables Listed by Category in the CFD-Post User's Guide .3.Click Apply .The contour plot for velocity appears and a legend is automatically generated.4.The coloring of the contour plot may not correspond to the colors on the legend because the viewerhas a light source enabled by default.There are several ways to correct this:•You can change the orientation of the objects in the viewer.•You can experiment with changing the position of the light source by holding down the Ctrl key and dragging the cursor with the right mouse button.•You can disable lighting for the contour plot.To disable lighting, click the Render tab and clear the check box beside Lighting , then click Apply .Display the Solution in CFD-PostPost-processing Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Mixing ElbowDisabling the lighting is the method that provides you with the most flexibility, so change thatsetting now.5.Click the Z on the triad to better orient the geometry (the 3D Viewer must be in viewing mode, notselect mode, to do this).Velocity on the Symmetry PlaneFigure 2.4:6.Improve the contrast between the contour regions:a.On the Render tab, select Show Contour Lines and click the plus sign to view more options.b.Select Constant Coloring.c.Set Color Mode to User Specified and set Line Color to black (if necessary, click the bar besideLine Color until black appears).d.Click Apply.Figure 2.5:Velocity on the Symmetry Plane (Enhanced Contrast)7.Hide the contour plot by clearing the check box beside User Locations and Plots > Contour 1 in theOutline tree view.TipYou can also hide an object by right-clicking on its name in the Outline tree view andselecting Hide.2.3.4. Show Flow Distribution in the ElbowCreate a vector plot to show the flow distribution in the elbow:1.From the menu bar, select Insert > Vector.2.Click OK to accept the default name.The details view for the vector appears.3.On the Geometry tab, set Domains to fluid and Locations to symmetry.4.Click Apply.5.On the Symbol tab, set Symbol Size to 4.6.Click Apply and notice the changes to the vector plot.Figure 2.6:Vector Plot of Velocity7.Change the vector plot so that the vectors are colored by temperature:a.In the details view for Vector 1, click the Color tab.b.Set the Mode to Variable.The Variable field becomes enabled.c.Click the down arrow beside the Variable field to set it to Temperature.d.Click Apply and notice the changes to the vector plot.8.Optionally, change the vector symbol. In the details view for the vector, go to the Symbol tab and setSymbol to Arrow3D. Click Apply.9.Hide the vector plot by right-clicking on a vector symbol in the plot and selecting Hide.In this example you will create streamlines to show the flow distribution by velocity and color those streamlines to show turbulent kinetic energy. CFD-Post uses the Variable setting on the Geometry tabto determine how to calculate the streamlines (that is, location). In contrast, the Variable setting onthe Color tab determines the color used when plotting those streamlines.1.From the menu bar select Insert > Streamline. Accept the default name and click OK.2.In the details view for Streamline 1, choose the points from which to start the streamlines. Click thedown arrow beside the Start From drop-down widget to see the potential starting points. Hoverover each point and notice that the area is highlighted in the 3D Viewer. It would be best to show how streamlines from both inlets interact, so, to make a multi-selection, click the Location editor icon .The Location Selector dialog box appears.3.In the Location Selector dialog box, hold down the Ctrl key and click velocity inlet 5 and ve-locity inlet 6 to highlight both locations, then click OK.4.Click Preview Seed Points to see the starting points for the streamlines.5.On the Geometry tab, ensure that Variable is set to Velocity.6.Click the Color tab and make the following changes:a.Set the Mode to Variable.The Variable field becomes enabled.b.Set the Variable to Turbulence Kinetic Energy.c.Set Range to Local.7.Click Apply.The streamlines show the flow of massless particles through the entire domain.Figure 2.7: Streamlines of Turbulence Kinetic Energy8.Select the check box beside Vector 1.The vectors appear, but are largely hidden by the streamlines.Tocorrect this, highlight Streamline 1 in the Outline tree view and press Delete.The vectors are nowclearly visible, but the work you did to create the streamlines is gone. Click the Undo icon to restore Streamline 1.9.Hide the vector plot and the streamlines by clearing the check boxes beside Vector 1 and Streamline1 in the Outline tree view.2.3.5. Show the Vortex StructureCFD-Post displays vortex core regions to enable you to better understand the processes in your simula-tion. In this example you will look at helicity method for vortex cores, but in your own work you woulduse the vortex core method that you find most instructive.1.In the Outline tree view:a.Under User Locations and Plots, clear the check box for Wireframe.b.Under Cases > elbow1 > fluid, select the check box for wall.c.Double-click wall to edit its properties.。

文章来源:安世亚太官方订阅号(搜索:peraglobal)计算流体力学(Computational Fluid Dynamics简称CFD)是利用数值方法通过计算机求解描述流体运动的数学方程,揭示流体运动的物理规律,研究定常流体运动的空间物理特性和非定常流体运动的时空物理特征的学科。
其基本思想可以归纳为:把原来在时间域和空间域上连续的物理量的场,如速度场和压力场,用一系列有限个离散点上的变量值的集合来代替,通过一定的原则和方式建立起关十这些离散点上场变量之间的关系的代数方程组,然后求解代数方程组获得场变量的近似值。
CFD 也可以称之为流体仿真,是从属于CAE(计算机辅助工程)的一个重要组成部分,从这个角度来讲,CFD 的本质仍旧是工程,所以必须要遵循通常意义上工程的一些原则。
ANSYS CFD 的基本工作流程可以认为分成三个主要的部分:⚫提出问题⚫化简问题⚫解决问题(一)提出问题提出问题,就是要明确仿真目的;这一点其实是最为重要的,但是对于一些仿真工程师来讲却是最容易被忽略的。
好多流体仿真工程师在仿真之前难以讲清楚自己的目的是什么、希望通过仿真得到什么,甚至一部分人还希望先做一个流体仿真“看一看情况”,这都是不正确的仿真起点。
任何的流体仿真都必须要有明确的目的,只有在明确的目的引导下,才能够忽略目的之外的次要因素,我们的仿真才能够顺利的进行;否则,如果我们的目的越多、想要得到(或考虑)的内容越多、我们的仿真规模就会过大,从而导致工作效率降低,无法满足工程上的需求。
常见的CFD流体仿真目的有以下几个方面:⚫得到温度的分布、温度最值的位置等(如电子散热行业等)⚫得到力、力矩或压力系数分布等(如航空航天、汽车行业等)⚫得到多相流中某一相(或多相)的分布情况(如石油行业、化工行业等)⚫得到管路中的压降(能量损失)和流量分布情况(如流体机械行业等)⚫得到流场分布来配合其他的需求⚫……当然,不同的行业仿真目的和需求通常是不一样的,因此我们忽略的次要因素也是不尽相同的。

cfdpost压力系数分布曲线标题:CFDPost中压力系数分布曲线的解读与应用一、引言CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)即计算流体动力学,是通过数值模拟方法研究流体流动、传热、传质等现象的重要工具。
其中,CFDPost作为后处理软件,能够将复杂的计算结果以可视化的方式展示出来,以便于工程师和科研人员进行深入理解和分析。
本文将详细介绍CFDPost中的一个关键分析指标——压力系数分布曲线。
二、压力系数概述压力系数是一个无量纲参数,通常定义为实际压力与参考压力之比,记作Cp。
在流体动力学领域,它被广泛用于表征流场内各点的压力状态相对于周围环境或特定参考状态的变化。
压力系数的分布曲线可以直观地反映流体在物体表面或者流场内部的压力变化情况,对于理解流动特性、优化设计以及预测设备性能等方面具有重要意义。
三、CFDPost中压力系数分布曲线的获取与解读在CFDPost中,用户可以通过“Plot”功能选择需要展示的压力系数数据,并设置相应的坐标轴和显示范围,生成压力系数分布曲线。
曲线的形状、峰值和谷值位置,都富含了丰富的流动信息。
例如,曲线的连续性、平滑度反映了流场的连续性和稳定性;曲线的极值点可能对应着流动分离、涡旋形成等重要流动特征区域。
四、实例解析以翼型为例,在CFDPost中绘制的压力系数分布曲线可以清晰地显示出翼型表面各点的压力变化情况,升力系数CL可以通过对压力系数分布曲线积分得到。
曲线在翼型前缘处的陡降表示此处存在高速气流冲击导致的压力骤降,而在翼型后部出现的压力恢复区域则表明了边界层的发展及可能存在的流动分离现象。
五、结论通过对CFDPost中压力系数分布曲线的解读与应用,我们可以更深入地理解流场内部的流动特性,从而指导和优化工程设计,提高设备性能。
因此,掌握如何有效地利用CFDPost进行压力系数分布曲线的分析,是每一位CFD使用者必备的技能之一。
Get the Most Out of Your Results with ANSYS ®CFD-Post TMComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations don’t end with the fluid flow prediction. Benefiting from the prediction requires post-processing that gives users complete insight into their fluid dynamics simulation results.ANSYS CFD-Post software, the common post-processor for all ANSYS fluid dynamics products, gives users everything they need to visualize and analyze their results. Within a modern and intuitive user interface, ANSYS CFD-Post software sets no limits on creativity when generating powerful images to illustrate the flow in any desired level of detail.From vector plots and streamlines to vortex cores and flow animations, ANSYS CFD-Post software provides users all the tools they need to produce insightful solution visualizations, including 3-D images. These high-quality visuals are invaluable in communicating results to colleagues and customers by helping to explain and provide an understanding of complex flow phenomena.High-end graphical post-processing is only one part of ANSYS CFD-Post technology; its quantitative post-processing abilities are at least as important and powerful.With the functions of ANSYS CFD-Post at their fingertips, users can quickly get all the data they need out of their calculation; weighted averages, mass flows, forces, maximum/minimum values and many more functions enable precise analysis of the CFD results.Add tabulated results presentation, chart plotting and special turbomachinery functionality along with automatic report generation, and there is virtually no limit to the post-processing possibilities with the ANSYS CFD-Post solution.

cfdpost算转矩-回复CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)是一种通过数值计算方法解决流体力学问题的技术。
CFD能够对流体流动进行建模和仿真分析,并提供关于流体现象和性能的详细信息。
而在CFD中,转矩(torque)是一个重要的物理量,它主要用于描述流体作用于旋转物体(如涡轮机、风力发电机等)上的力矩。
本文将以CFD中转矩的计算和应用为主题,详细介绍转矩的定义、计算方法以及其在不同领域中的应用。
第一部分:转矩的定义和基本概念(300字)转矩作为力矩的一种,是描述力矩产生的旋转效果的物理量。
在流体力学中,转矩通常是指流体对物体施加的力矩,用于描述流体对旋转物体的扭转作用。
具体地说,转矩是根据旋转物体所受力矩的大小和方向来计算的。
第二部分:流体力学中转矩的计算方法(800字)在CFD中,转矩的计算方法可以分为两类:直接计算和间接计算。
直接计算方法通过在网格上求解Navier-Stokes方程组,得到流体对物体施加的力矩。
这种方法需要对流场进行细致的建模和计算,计算量很大,但可以获得比较准确的结果。
间接计算方法则是通过测量物体所受到的力和力臂的长度,从而间接计算得到转矩。
这种方法不需要进行流场计算,因此计算量较小,但结果的精确度受到测量误差的影响。
对于直接计算方法,一种常用的技术是使用CFD软件(如ANSYS Fluent、OpenFOAM等)建立物体的几何模型和数值网格,然后在网格上求解Navier-Stokes方程组。
通过设置合适的边界条件和模拟参数,可以获得流体对物体的作用力和力矩。
这些计算结果可以被用于优化物体设计、改善流体流动性能等。
对于间接计算方法,最常见的是使用扭矩传感器或力传感器测量物体所受的力和力臂的长度。
根据物体的几何形状和传感器的位置,可以计算得到转矩的大小和方向。
这种方法通常应用于实验室或工业现场,适用于测量实际工况下流体对旋转物体的转矩。
第三部分:转矩的应用领域和意义(400字)转矩在许多领域中都有重要的应用和意义。
ANSYS CFD电机温度场仿真分析流程1前言电机是一种实现机电能量转换的电磁装置。
从19世纪末期起,电机就逐渐代替蒸汽机作为拖动生产机械的原动机。
电机在运行时将产生各种损耗,这些损耗转变成热量,使电机各部件发热,温度升高。
电机中的某些部件,特别是电机的绝缘,只能在一定的温度限值内才能可靠工作。
为维持电机的合理寿命,需要采取适当的措施将电机中的热量散发出去,使其在允许的温度限值内运行。
电机冷却的目的就是根据不同类型的电机选择一种合理的冷却方式,保证在额定运行状态下,电机各部分温度不超过国家标准允许的限值。
电机的冷却方式,主要是指对电机散热采用什么冷却介质和相应的流动途径。
改进电机的冷却技术,对提高电机的利用系数和效率及增加可靠性和寿命,特别对提高大型电机的单机容量,都具有重要的意义。
为了找到最佳的电机冷却方式,需要对电机在工作过程中的核心流动问题进行CFD仿真分析。
电机的CFD仿真分析的核心问题即是电机散热系统分析,涉及通风系统、通风部件、换热部件的设计优化问题以及电机核心部件的温升(起动时及额定工况)等问题。
2技术路线电机的稳态温度场仿真的分析流程如下图所示。
3实施过程以一个基于FLUENT的异步电机的稳态温度场分析为例进行说明。
3.1几何处理电机的温度场仿真既涉及到空气的流动,也涉及到热量在绕组和其他结构件之间的传递,属于流-固共轭换热的范畴,因此仿真计算域中既包含流体域,也包含固体域。
由于流体域和固体域两者是互补的关系,所以在抽取流体域之前,需要先对固体域做处理。
电机模型较为复杂,细节特征较多,而流场仿真分析对网格质量的要求较高,因此在保证计算精度的前提下,需要先对实际电机物理模型做一些合理的简化从而尽可能缩小计算的规模。
简化对象的选取是根据具体结构对温度场计算的影响程度来决定:如果局部的细节特征对温度场计算的影响和主要因素相比可以忽略不计,那么这些细节就可以去除;如果考察的对象是局部的细节特征,则需要建立局部细化模型,从而考虑具体的细节特征。

It is often important to predict the flow field and tem-perature field in the area of the mixing region in order to properly design the junction.This tutorial demonstrates how to do the following:2.1. Create a Working Directory2.2. Launch CFD-Post2.3. Display the Solution in CFD-Post2.4. Save Your Work2.5. Generated FilesProblem DescriptionThe problem to be considered is shown schematically in Figure 2.1 (p.4). A cold fluid at 20° C flows into the pipe through a large inlet and mixes with a warmer fluid at 40° C that enters through a smaller inlet located at the elbow.The pipe dimensions are in inches, but the fluid properties and boundary conditions are given in SI units.The Reynolds number for the flow at the larger inlet is 50,800, so the flow has been modeled as being turbulent.NoteThis tutorial is derived from an existing FLUENT case.The combination of SI and Imperialunits is not typical, but follows a FLUENT example.Because the geometry of the mixing elbow is symmetric, only half of the elbow is modeled.3Release 14.0 - © SAS IP, Inc.

Become Familiar with the Viewer ControlsOptionally, take a few moments to become familiar with the viewer controls.These icons switch the mouse from selecting items in the viewer to controlling the orientation and display of the view. First, the sizing controls:1.ClickZoom Box2.Click and drag a rectangular box over the geometry.Display the Solution in CFD-PostChapter 2: Post-processing Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Mixing Elbow3.Release the mouse button to zoom in on the selection.The geometry zoom changes to display the selection at a greater resolution.4.Click Fit View to re-center and re-scale the geometry.Now, the rotation functions:1.Click Rotate on the viewer toolbar.2.Click and drag repeatedly within the viewer to test the rotation of the geometry. Notice how the mousecursor changes depending on where you are in the viewer, particularly near the edges:Figure 2.2 Orientation Control Cursor TypesThe geometry rotates based on the direction of movement. If the mouse cursor has an axis (whichhappens around the edges), the object rotates around the axis shown in the cursor.The axis ofrotation is through the pivot point, which defaults to be in the center of the object.Display the Solution in CFD-Post TipSee Mouse Button Mapping for details about other features that you can access with themouse.Now explore orientation options:1.Right-click a blank area in the viewer and select Predefined Camera > View From -X.2.Right-click a blank area in the viewer and select Predefined Camera > Isometric View (Z Up).3.Click the “Z” axis of triad in the viewer to get a side view of the object.4.Click the three axes in the triad in turn to see the vector objects in all three planes; when you aredone, click the cyan (ISO) sphere.Now explore the differences between the orienting controls you just used and select mode.1.Click to enter select mode.2.Hover over one of the wireframe lines and notice that the cursor turns into a box.3.Click a wireframe line and notice that the details view for the wireframe appears.4.Right-click away from a wireframe line and then again on a wireframe line. Notice how the menuchanges:Figure 2.3 Right-click Menus Vary by Cursor Position5.In the Outline tree view, select the elbow1 > fluid > wall check box; the outer wall of the elbow be-comes solid. Notice that as you hover over the colored area, the cursor again becomes a box, indicating that you can perform operations on that region.When you right-click on the wall, a new menu appears.6.Click on the triad and notice that you cannot change the orientation of the viewer object. (The triad is available only in viewing mode, not select mode.)7.In the Outline tree view, clear the elbow1 > fluid > wall check box; the outer wall of the elbow dis-appears.2.3.2. Create an Instance ReflectionCreate an instance reflection on the symmetry plane so that you can see the complete case:1.With the 3D Viewer toolbar in viewing mode, click on the cyan (ISO) sphere in the triad.This will make it easy to see the instance reflection you are about to create.2.Right-click on one of the wireframe lines on the symmetry plane. (If you were in select mode, themouse cursor would have a “box” image added when you are on a valid line. As you are in viewing mode there is no change to the cursor to show that you are on a wireframe line, so you may see the general right-click menu, as opposed to the right-click menu for the symmetry plane.) See Figure2.3 (p.13).3.From the right-click menu, select Reflect/Mirror . If you see a dialog box prompting you for the direction of the normal, choose the Z axis.The mirrored copy of the wireframe appears.TipIf the reflection you create is on an incorrect axis, click theUndo toolbar icon twice.2.3.3. Show Velocity on the Symmetry PlaneCreate a contour plot of velocity on the symmetry plane:1.From the menu bar, select Insert > Contour . In the Insert Contour dialog box, accept the default name, and click OK .2.In the details view for Contour 1, set the following:Value Setting Tabsymmetry a LocationsGeometry Velocity b Variablea Notice how the available locations are highlighted in the viewer as you move the mouse over the objects in the Locations drop-down list.You could also create a slice plane at a location of your choice and define the contour to be at that location.bVelocity is just an example of a variable you can use. For a list of FLUENT variables and their CFX equivalents, see FLUENT Field Variables Listed by Category in the CFD-Post User's Guide .3.Click Apply .The contour plot for velocity appears and a legend is automatically generated.4.The coloring of the contour plot may not correspond to the colors on the legend because the viewerhas a light source enabled by default.There are several ways to correct this:•You can change the orientation of the objects in the viewer.Chapter 2: Post-processing Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Mixing ElbowDisplay the Solution in CFD-Post •You can experiment with changing the position of the light source by holding down the Ctrl key and dragging the cursor with the right mouse button.•You can disable lighting for the contour plot.To disable lighting, click on the Render tab and clear the check box beside Lighting, then click Apply.Disabling the lighting is the method that provides you with the most flexibility, so change thatsetting now.5.Click the Z on the triad to better orient the geometry (the 3D Viewer must be in viewing mode, notselect mode, to do this).Figure 2.4 Velocity on the Symmetry Plane6.Improve the contrast between the contour regions:a.On the Render tab, select Show Contour Lines and click the plus sign to view more options.b.Select Constant Coloring.c.Set Color Mode to User Specified and set Line Color to black (if necessary, click on the barbeside Line Color until black appears).d.Click Apply.Chapter 2: Post-processing Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Mixing ElbowFigure 2.5 Velocity on the Symmetry Plane (Enhanced Contrast)7.Hide the contour plot by clearing the check box beside User Locations and Plots > Contour 1 in theOutline tree view.TipYou can also hide an object by right-clicking on its name in the Outline tree view andselecting Hide.2.3.4. Show Flow Distribution in the ElbowCreate a vector plot to show the flow distribution in the elbow:1.From the menu bar, select Insert > Vector.2.Click OK to accept the default name.The details view for the vector appears.3.On the Geometry tab, set Domains to fluid and Locations to symmetry.4.Click Apply.5.On the Symbol tab, set Symbol Size to 4.6.Click Apply and notice the changes to the vector plot.Figure 2.6 Vector Plot of Velocity7.Change the vector plot so that the vectors are colored by temperature:a.In the details view for Vector 1, click on the Color tab.b.Set the Mode to Variable.The Variable field becomes enabled.c.Click on the down arrow beside the Variable field to set it to Temperature.d.Click Apply and notice the changes to the vector plot.8.Optionally, change the vector symbol. In the details view for the vector, go to the Symbol tab and setSymbol to Arrow3D. Click Apply.9.Hide the vector plot by right-clicking on a vector symbol in the plot and selecting Hide.In this example you will create streamlines to show the flow distribution by velocity and color those streamlines to show turbulent kinetic energy. CFD-Post uses the Variable setting on the Geometry tabto determine how to calculate the streamlines (that is, location). In contrast, the Variable setting onthe Color tab determines the color used when plotting those streamlines.1.From the menu bar select Insert > Streamline. Accept the default name and click OK.2.In the details view for Streamline 1, choose the points from which to start the streamlines. Click onthe down arrow beside the Start From drop-down widget to see the potential starting points.Hover over each point and notice that the area is highlighted in the 3D Viewer. It would be best to show how streamlines from both inlets interact, so, to make a multi-selection, click the Location editor icon .The Location Selector dialog box appears.3.In the Location Selector dialog box, hold down the Ctrl key and click velocity inlet 5 andvelocity inlet 6 to highlight both locations, then click OK.4.Click Preview Seed Points to see the starting points for the streamlines.5.On the Geometry tab, ensure that Variable is set to Velocity.6.Click on the Color tab and make the following changes:a.Set the Mode to Variable.The Variable field becomes enabled.b.Set the Variable to Turbulence Kinetic Energy.c.Set Range to Local.7.Click Apply.The streamlines show the flow of massless particles through the entire domain.Figure 2.7 Streamlines of Turbulence Kinetic Energy8.Select the check box beside Vector 1.The vectors appear, but are largely hidden by the streamlines.To correct this, highlight Streamline 1 in the Outline tree view and press Delete.The vectors arenow clearly visible, but the work you did to create the streamlines is gone. Click the Undo iconto restore Streamline 1.9.Hide the vector plot and the streamlines by clearing the check boxes beside Vector 1 and Streamline1 in the Outline tree view.2.3.5. Show the Vortex StructureCFD-Post displays vortex core regions to enable you to better understand the processes in your simula-tion. In this example you will look at helicity method for vortex cores, but in your own work you woulduse the vortex core method that you find most instructive.1.In the Outline tree view:a.Under User Locations and Plots, clear the check box for Wireframe.b.Under Cases > elbow1 > fluid, select the check box for wall.c.Double-click on wall to edit its properties.d.On the Render tab, set Transparency to 0.75 .e.Click Apply.This makes the pipe easy to see while also making it possible to see objects inside the pipe.2.From the menu bar, select Insert > Location > Vortex Core Region and click OK to accept the defaultname.3.In the details view for Vortex Core Region 1 on the Geometry tab, set Method to AbsoluteHelicity and Level to .01.4.On the Render tab, set Transparency to 0.2. Click Apply.The absolute helicity vortex that is displayed is created by a mixture of effects from the walls, thecurve in the main pipe, and the interaction of the fluids. If you had chosen the vorticity methodinstead, wall effects would dominate.5.On the Color tab, click on the colored bar in the Color field until the bar is green. Click Apply.This improves the contrast between the vortex region and the blue walls.6.Right-click in the 3D Viewer and select Predefined Camera > Isometric View (Y up).7.In the Outline tree view, select the check box beside Streamline 1.This shows how the streamlinesare affected by the vortex regions.。
