Water Level Monitor

Fuzzy · June 22, 2020, 10:14

Hello

I am currently working on a simple capillary rise simulation (using transient model) for a cylindrical tube of 1 mm diameter. I got the simulation to run which shows the water level rising. But right now I'm trying to figure out how to extract a curve from fluent that might show the water level (y-axis) in relation to the time (x-axis). Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do it?

Thanks!

There are at least two ways to do this, but the following one is good enough.

Create an iso-surface of water volume fraction 0.5. Essentially, this is the free surface. Report its average y-coordinate.
