Unable to view inside the cylinder

valr · June 27, 2017, 10:03

Hi everyone,

I am working on CFD simulation of water in rotating drum. BlockMesh and simulation runs well.

But when I am trying to view it in ParaView, I could not see the water inside the drum. I also tried using "clip" , "slice" and "contour" commands. But it did not work. I could not also rotate the drum in paraview.

The following is the link to the cases of my project:

I am using Dam Break tutorial and changed it according to needs.
Can anyone help me overcome this problem?��

HEY FIRST OF ALL UR LINK IS EMPTY
second. did you see the water at the initial time=0 after running setfields. u should always check whether water has been set in domain initially or not
so check at t=0, if u see water then, there should be no problem in visualizing it at a later time

Hi,

Sorry, I changed the link. Now I think it works. I checked initially also water wasn't there.

Quick answer: I've come here due to a PM you sent me and only today did I finally manage to look into this.

Take a look into the sloshing tank tutorial cases. The following thread has a lot of details about it: what is the difference between sloshingTank3D and sloshingTank3D3DoF?
