In this section we will first plot the variation of the x component of the velocity along the outlet. In order to start the process (Click) Results > Plots > XY Plot... > Set Up.. as shown below.

In the
Solution XY Plot menu make sure that
Position on X Y Axis is selected , and
X is set to
1
0
and
Y is set to
0
1
. This tells FLUENT to plot the
xy-coordinate value on the
abscissa ordinate of the graph. Next, select
Velocity... for the first box underneath
Y X Axis Function and select
Axial X Velocity for the second box. Please note that
X Axis Function and
Y Axis Function describe the
x and
y axes of the
graph, which should not be confused with the
x and
y directions of the
pipegeometry. Finally, select
centerline outlet under
Surfaces since we are plotting
the x component of the
axial velocity along the
centerline outlet. This finishes setting up the plotting parameters. Your
Solution XY Plot should look exactly the same as the following image.

Now, click
Plot. The plot of the axial velocity as a function of distance along the centerline now appears.
