[Paraview] How does Paraview calculate the velocity gradient

2017-08-23 Thread HongchaoWang
Hi, How does Paraview calculate the velocity gradient if I use filter "gradient of unstructured data set"? And what is the difference between using cell data and point data as input? For my case I am simulating an oscillatory flow inside a narrow channel, I would like to obtain the

I'm just wondering what interpolation scheme is used for data manipulation in Paraview? I'm using Paraview 5.2.0. I want to measure the velocity very close to a wall surface so that I can obtain the wall shear stress. However, I found the velocity measured using Paraview is different from the

I have solved the problem myself. I have chosen the wrong field association when outputting the data. Regards, Wilson From: HongchaoWang [mailto:hongchao.wang2...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 29 May 2017 4:13 PM To: 'paraview@paraview.org' <paraview@paraview.org> Subject: How to output

[Paraview] How to output forces over time?

2017-05-29 Thread HongchaoWang
Hi, I am using paraview to postprocess the results from OpenFoam. I am able to calculate the drag and lift forces on a fixed box by integrating pressure over the box surface. Now I would like to output the time history of the of the forces. How can I achieve that? What I have done is to select

Hi, I am using paraview to postprocess the results from openfoam. I am doing a 3D case and thus the cell number is huge. What I want to do is to save data from ''plot over line'' for a time frame from 23s to 28s. However, the "save data" option seems to only either save the current time step
