Plot Velocity Vectors

Let's plot the velocity vectors obtained from the FLUENT solution.

You can then select coloring, resolution and format for your picture. Then click on Save and give a name to the file to save it.

Plot Pressure Coefficients

Now we will display the pressure coefficient contour but first we need to set the reference values for velocity. Go back to:

...

Why is the pressure not constant at the leading edge of the plate?

Plot Skin Friction Coefficient

Now we will plot the skin friction coefficient along the flat plate.
