Creating and postprocessing a rotational surface

October 20, 2008, 11:34

Hello all,

I need to create a rotational surface inside my domain at a fixed radius and perform some calculations on it - like calculating and averaging radial/tangential velocities and pressure.

As far as I can see it is not possible to postprocess cylindrical planes with sample. I did not manage to create a cylindrcal cut in ParaView either...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Paul

PS: I'm quite new to OF and not very experienced in C++.

I am sorry to bother you with maybe trivial questions. Nevertheless, does anybody have a unseful hint?

Kind regards.

This is exactly what I want to do, too.
Any ideas so far?
