Hello everyone,

In the case of a turbulent flow, is it possible to follow the velocity variation as a function of time with fluent, as indicated in the appendix?

If yes, how?

Best regards,

Hello SER, 

If I understand, you want to track velocity as a function of time at a specified location, is that correct? If so, the procedure is as follows

1. Create a "Point" from Domain->Surface->Point

2. Create a "Report Definition" based on "Vertex Average" of the required variable (velocity magnitude in your case) and select the point created in Step-1 as the surface.

3. Create a "Report Plots" under Solution->Monitors->Report Plots and select the report definition created in Step-2. 

If the above steps are performed correctly, you will see the plot of time vs velocity magnitude at the chosen point once the simulation starts running. 

Thank you,

Dear Kgoparaj,

Thank you very much, I will try to apply it.

Best regards,

Hi Kalyan sir, nJust to ask you one question from your answer why to choose vertex average plot only why not a surface weighted average plot.nnThank you,nAbu Bakar khann

If you use a surface you may smooth out fluctuations. That's not always a problem, but could be if you want to see the fluctuations! n
