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
