We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

How can I easily extract data (Pressure for example) at every point along the centreline of a pipe that has multiple elbows and changes profile?

  In Fluent: 1. Create a UDS with Flux Function = none 2. Set the UDS Value = 1 at the inlet 3. Set the UDS Value = 0 at the outlet 4. Set the UDS Flux = 0 at all other boundaries. This will create a zero-gradient at the walls thus creating surfaces of constant UDS values perpendicular to the walls. In CFX: 1. Create a scalar additional variable based on the poisson equation with a kinemeatic diffusivity of 1 m^-2 s^-2 2. Set the AV Value = 1 at the inlet 3. Set the AV Value = 0 at the outlet 4. Set the constant Flux at the walls. In CFD-Post: 1. Create Isosurfaces of the UDS or additional variable from 0 to 1. These isosurfaces will be perpendicular to the walls at all locations. Pressure data can then be extracted from these surfaces.
