In the Post Processing window, click the Vector icon to create a vector result. When prompted, name the result Velocity Vector. In the Details of Velocity Vector window, begin on the Geometry tab. Under Locations, select Periodic 1. This will show the velocity along the entire geometry surface periodically. Next, click on the Symbol tab. Change the Symbol Size to 0.1. Finally, move to the View tab. We want to see the entire geometry of the pipe: not just half of it like we currently see. To see the whole pipe, check the box next to Apply Reflection/Mirroring, and change the Method to ZX Plane. Because the pipe is long and skinny, it will be difficult to see the results. This post processor allows us to stretch the results to make the results easier to see. To apply a scaling, check the box next to Apply Scale, and change the Scale to 1,10,1 (this will scale the y-direction by 10). When finished, press Apply to see the result. If you wish to see the result without the wireframe of the pipe, uncheck the box next to Wireframe under User Location and Plots.

Note

In ANSYS version 14.5, only one half of the pipe cross-section is displayed after using the mirroring option. You can work around this by applying the mirroring condition in the "Default transform" setting and not in the "View" Tab. To do this select "Default Transform" in the left-hand menu, uncheck "Instancing Info from Domain", check "Apply Reflection" and select to mirror about the ZX Plane.
