Hi everyone!
I'm running a 3D simulation of flow around a cylindrical wing. I want to plot Cp along a section of this cylinder so I would like to chose the intersection of a normal plane and the wing surface to plot results on the resulting curve. How can I do that? Is it possible to calculate 2D drag and lift coefficient directly on this curve? Thanks a lot! |

What I need is Cp distribution (or any other variable such as y+, y*, etc.) in the intersection of the plane (with contours) and the surface (mesh). See picture.
Thanks! |

Solved with iso-surface.

Solved!
If anyone face this problem here it is the solution. It's made by selecting iso-surface, variable mesh/coordinate y (for example) select a constant value for this. Choose the surface you want to intersect and you get a curve on your surface of y=constant. |
