Step 6: Results

In Workbench save Please make sure your project . In is saved in Workbench. Double click on Results in the Project Schematic window, double click on Results to . This will open CFD-Post (the program used to analyze results from FLUENT computation.)

Overview

Again, like previous section, we see familiar Outline tab on the left that display various results of interest. On the right, we have the Graphics window.

Temperature Contour

You may have noticed in previous sections, that the pipe looks extremely long and thin on the screen. In fact, due to the symmetry condition of the experiment, we have only modeled half the pipe in our analysis. To be able to make full use of the results, we must:

1) Generate the results for the parameter investigated (e.g. temperature, pressure, velocity)

2) Mirror the result to reflect the result of the full pipe

3) Adjust the scaling of the resulting graphs so that the variation of the pipe in y direction is more pronounced. 

Temperature Contour

Our first challenge is the temperature contourLet's first look at temperature Contour. On the top menu, click on contour . Enter name We will be calling this contour "Temperature Contour" and press , OK when done. On the left hand side, under Details of Temperature Contour, select the appropriate parameter to obtain the result we want. Next to Locations, select periodic 1. Select Temperature for Variable. Enter 100 for # of Contours.
