Monitoring Pressure at a Discrete Point

March 10, 2009, 16:38

I am running an unsteady simulation on 2D domain which contains a shear layer. I am looking for vortices being shed into the shear layer, and so I want to monitor pressure at one or more points in the shear layer. I've looked at the monitor options already in Fluent, and they didn't look too promising. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could do this?

I figured out the solution to my problem. I just created point surfaces where I wanted to measure the pressure and created a surface monitor that monitors the vertex average.
