Visualizing Computational Fluid Dynamics

This tutorial shows common visualization techniques for cfd datasets. We will be using the dataset disk_out_ref.exo, found in Paraview under File/ Open/ Examples. It has a vector field in it called V.

Slices

  • File → Open → Examples → disk_out_ref.exo.. On the Properties tab, click Apply.
  • +X
  • Filters → Common → Slice. Apply. Unselect the Show Plane.
  • Color by: v.
  • In the pipeline browser, select disk_out_ref.exo
  • Filters → Common → Slice. Y Normal. Apply. Unselect the Show Plane.
  • Color by: pres.
  • View → Color Map Editor → Presets (the little envelope with a heart) → Turbo.
  • With the mouse, rotate the slices around so you can see both surfaces.

Stream Tracers - lines and tubes

  • File → Open → Examples → disk_out_ref.exo.. On the Properties tab, click Apply.
  • Filters → Common → Stream Tracer. v. Seed Type: Point Cloud. Uncheck Show Sphere. Apply.
  • Color by: v.

Lines don't color as nicely as surfaces. Lets add a tube filter around each streamline.

  • Filters → Search. Type Tube. Apply.

Now, we want to know which directions the particles are moving. We will use a glyph filter. Note we place the glyph filter on the streamline, not the tube.

  • Select StreamTracer in the Pipeline Browser.
  • Filters → Common → Glyph. Glyph Type: Cone. Orientation Array: v. Scale Array: v . Very Important - Scale Factor select the recycle button to the right. Apply.
  • Color by: temp.
  • View → Color Map Editor → Presets (the little envelope with a heart) → Black Body Radiation.
