Velocity data throughout the mesh

[Sudharsan Madhavan]

Hello,

I am post-processing the cylinder case from the sample dataset. I am particularly interested in velocity vectors throughout the volume, however the vtu and vtp files seem to indicate only velocity magnitude throughout the mesh. Is there anyway to get velocity data throughout the domain ? I wonder if I miss something simple. Thanks in advance for your time.

Thank you,
Sudharsan

Hi Sudharsan!

The vtp files are just surfaces, so they will not contain any volume data. The vtu files however are volumes and should have this information. Are you using Paraview for post-processing? If you are, there are some things you can do to see the velocity in the volume. You can use the calculator filter to make a velocity magnitude scalar field and display the object as a volume. You can also use the Glyph filter to display velocity vectors throughout the domain, and this usually helps to see the behavior better.

Hopefully this helps!

Hi Adam,

Thanks a lot for explaining! Yes, I am using Paraview for post-processing. Thanks for pointing out, "Filters-->Data Analysis-->Calculator" indeed gives me what I wanted.

Thanks,
