Visualizing Vorticity of a 3D blades in Fluent

      Hi all,

      Does anyone knows how to effectively view Iso-surface of Vorticity (like Q-Criterion) in ANSYS Fluent.

      I have flow going through 4 vanes with casing at outer periphery, how do I visualize the vorticity in the flow? 

      Is there an input that I can use?

      Thanks.

      Regards,

      There's a vorticity magnitude available under the velocity contours, does that solve the problem?

      Hi Rwoolhou,

      Thanks for replying. I used Q-Criterion from Custom Function with a constant value. It looks fine for a particular instantaneous time-step. 

      Will look into your suggestion.

        Hi jlhee,

        I am going to create exactly the same contour.

        How can I do this?

        I will be grateful if you provide me with an educational video.
