Velocity Results

Click the Results tab.

In this step, we examine the velocity results using a cutting plane and vectors.

Cut planes show results on a slice through the model. Use them to gain a comprehensive understanding of the flow. Use vectors to show the velocity direction and magnitude throughout the device.

Click Planes from the Results tab:

To create a Plane, click Add on the Planes context panel:

To orient the plane, left click on it, and click this icon from the context toolbar:

Z

To display Mach number, select Mach Number from the Result menu on the Planes context panel.

Note: As expected, the flow approaches sonic at the throat and accelerates to about 2.5 at the outlet.
