Flow exploration using pathlines

Flow exploration using pathlines. It is of the essence to be able to investigate even the small wakes in car design details such as front bumpers, spoilers and airfoils.

Velocity field vector plot

Close up of LookCFD arrow representation

Velocity field pathlines

A large scale pulverized fuel boiler cut through. Velocity pathlines show the flow field near the burners of coal.

Contour

A contour representation using a rainbow color scale.

Injection nozzle simulation

The two phase flow of a nozzle simulated using 2D grid.

3D representation of a 2D domain

The previous simulation visualized as 3D by rotation around the axes of symmetry.

Grid and pathlines for a piston engine

A piston engine "ghost". Flow field is represented with tubed path lines.

Volume of fluid representation with an isosurface

An isosurface colored with local velocity is used to display droplet collision (obtained with VOF model)

Vectors of 3D air flow around an ellipsoid

An ellipsoid colored with local pressure is also fitter with arrows.

Pathlines of 3D air flow around an ellipsoid

An ellipsoid colored with local pressure is also fitter with arrows.

Boundary cells of a grid

Two grids - a solid one and a wireframed.

Complex isosurface

Close up of a complex contoured isosurface.

Pathlines

Pathlines in a sea flow calculation

The existence of a vortex is discovered in this open sea flow calculation using pathlines.

Slice graphs

Slice object: is situ X - Y scalar representation. Useful to display relative differences of scalar values
