Numerical Results

Results in FLUENT

We can view various results using both FLUENT and CFD-Post. We will start by looking at a few results in FLUENT like mass flow rate and the integral static pressure surface monitor.

Summary of steps in the above video:

  1. Reports
    1. Fluxes
      1. Select mass flow rate
      2. Select inlet, outlet and top-inlet
    2. Look at the net results value and check if it makes sense, if mass is balanced
  2. Plot
    1. Set-Up
      1. Click Add
      2. Find file with .out extension
      3. Click plot
      4. Click axis
        1. Select y
        2. Uncheck auto range
        3. Change min to -200,000 Pa
        4. Change max to 200,000 Pa
        5. Click apply
      5.  Click Plot
      6. Try a range from -100,000 to 0 Pa in the y axis. 
      7. Try a range from -7000 to -8000 Pa in the y axis

Info

This module is from our free online simulations course at edX.org (sign up here). The edX interface provides a better user experience and the content has been updated since it was first recorded, so we recommend that you go through the module there rather than here. Also, you will be able to see answers to the questions embedded in the module there.
