Elmer+Paraview

Post by armaghantelgerafchi »

Hello
I have a problem with Paraview. I used the Elmer program for modeling the geometry of a cylinder that has an empty tube inside that. It seems that In Paraview , the velocity distribution inside the empty tube doesn't work. I expect to see higher velocity inside the tube that the bottom and top of tube. But, it seems that the elmer doesn't calculate velocity for empty tube inside cylinder. I would be pleased if you help me with this issue.
I attached mesh file and SIF file for your references.

Dear armaghantelgerafchi ,
1. Paraview is working well as you have put the following code in Simulation section.

Code: Select all

Simulation
...
Post File = case.vtu
End
2. You can try changing the boundary conditions that fit the actual physical conditions.
The boundary conditions pressure 1, pressure 2 and pressure 3 are the forces at the boundary.
The absolute pressure at the boundary is just mentioned as pressure. or, the normal pressure to the surface is referred to as External pressure.
