Numerical Results
This page goes through the post-processing steps for the Supersonic Flow Over a Wedge in the CFD Post post-processor included with ANSYS Workbench. For instructions on performing the post-processing using the classic FLUENT post-processor, see this page.
Mach Number Contours
The following video shows how to make a plot of the Mach number contours using CFD Post. If the videos below don't appear in your browser, try reloading the webpage
To properly send the additional quantities to CFD post, you need to do the following steps in the right order. First initialize your solution, then select the additional quantities as shown in the above video and finally, run the calculation.
Pressure Contours
The following video shows how to make a plot of the pressure contours.
Velocity Vectors
To plot the velocity vectors, follow the steps in the video below.
Plot Mach Number Variation Along y=0.4 m
First, we'll create a line at y=0.4m. Then, we'll plot the Mach number variation along this line using the "Chart" facility in CFD Post. These steps are shown in the video below.
