Pressure gradient vs time plot

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,
I have solved a pulsating fluid flow problem in a straight cylindrical duct.Now I would like to obtain a plot for 'pressure difference between inlet and exit of duct 'vs 'time'(to see the variation of pressure gradient with time).Can anyone suggest me about doing that..Thanks in advance

Hi

you want the average velocity ? then integrate or average the inlet and the outlet (i.e.over u if the flow is along "x") and call them as variables

Vin_ave = aveop1(u)
Vout_ave = aveop2(u)

and then do a Derived Values Global Evaluation of "Vout_ave - Vin_ave"

That was for v4.
In V3.5 you do not have the average operator but you can use two integration coupling boundary variable of "int_u = int_of u" and another of "int_1 = int_of 1", and then define a user variable Vin_ave = int_u / int_1
An plot the post processing value difference of the two

Good luck
