As the title said, I have simulated the flowfield of a waterjet inlet. Some water of the whole flow field flow into waterjet inlet. I want to get the stream tube of the water that flow into waterjet in the whole flowfield. How to do it by CFX-post? Who can help me, THANKS.

You can approximate this by using a series of streamlines around the outside of the stream tube. Integrate them backwards from your outlet to see where they came from.

Look at the picture below. The streamline thrill through the plane and into the waterjet inlet. I want to get the inlet surface on the plane that just the streamline thrill through it. Would you like to tell me the detail approach?

What you have already done is about right. You can see the stream tube from that.
If you want to define a surface to bound it you are going to have to take a different approach. You need to "tag" the inlet water somehow. If it is a different temeprature or composition then it is easy. If not you need to add a convected AV which separates the inlet water from the other. Then you can draw an isosurface of the AV to define your stream tube. |

Of course, the tagged water just flows out of the outlet so no boundary condition needs specification for it at the outlet. This is a different approach to getting your stream tube. Draw an isosurface of the additional variable and you will have your stream tube.

No, I do not have time. There a lot of tutorials which come with CFX so I recommend you work your way through them. They show most of the features of the software.
