Re: frozen rotor e Coriolis Source Terms

Post by attene »

Hi Yvan,

Regarding what I would like to find out in Paraview:
I think I need to define in Mesh under Output control the boundaries (the three blades in my case) on which
to calculate the quantities I want !? Could you please confirm this!?
If that is true: What Id I need to impose for boundary faces (option in Type)? (-2 or leave the number that appear by default when creating a new mesh part)?

thank you for your help!

Regards,

FA

Hello,

You can define a surface mesh with a selection criteria matching the blades. The id should be automatic, so no need to change it. Make sure the surface mesh has an associated writer so it is not ignored.

-2 is the id for the default boundary output mesh. You could replace the all[] criteria with the blade selection criteria, but generating a separate output mesh just for the blades allows you to also keep the rest of the boundary for other purposes.

Regards,

Yvan

Hi Yvan,

Thanks!

What do you mean with the following?:

Make sure the surface mesh has an associated writer so it is not ignored.

Do I have to edit or add another writer under Output Control/Writer ?

Hello,

No, you do not need to add another writer. For the added mesh, just make sure the "results" writer appears in the list of associated writers (use "+" in the list, which is empty by default).
