CFView: Vortice detention and visualization

Delfim Sa

I am trying to get a 3D rendering of a vortice on a rotors blade by using the quantity Lambda2.

I was able to do it by manually creating 33 IJK surfaces, in this case it was I surfaces to obtain this result: 

Now without the surfaces:

Is there a quicker and easier way to obtain this result? I wanted the full domain but that were a minimum of 97 surfaces if i used J surfaces.

Do I need to just create a Macro? This is a process that I am going to need to repeat a lot and wanted to find the best way.

Thank you very much for any help.

Regards,

Delfim Sá

    Dear Delfim Sá,

    I noticed your question and I'm wondering whether you could not use an iso-surface at Lambda2 = 0 (or a very small negative value) to visualize in 3D the vortices?

    Best regards,

    Dear Colinda,

    Thank you very much for your suggestion. It works very well. Can I select the volume for which I want the ISO surface, or does it apply to all domain?

    You are using CFView, right?
    The isosurfaces are created in all domains: when you save them, you can see in the list of surfaces a new surface that is expandable and contains the surfaces within each of the domains. In that way you can easily control which ones to look at.
