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.

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.
