Hello together,<\/p>\n

I am postprocessing the thermo-fluid simulation of a rib roughened pipe with a structured grid in Ensight. The simulation was solved in Fluent with periodic boundary conditions, hence the jagged nature of the interface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I want to calculate the averaged axial (x) velocity over the radial coordinate of the pipe. Averaging in x direction was possible with a clip along the x axis to one outer wall and the radiograph mesh function and dividing the result by the length of the section. However, I cant figure out how to average the theta (circumferential) direction. Adding many clips along the circumference and manually averaging would be extremely laborious, as I have several variations of the geometry, and the radiograph mesh function takes quite long in itself to plot. Is there a smarter way to do this in ensight?<\/p>\n

Thank you for your help,<\/p>\n
