Dear specialists, and Dear friends,
I have problems in calculating "Gradient" of a scalar field in Paraview. Paraview provides several methods to calculate the gradient of a certain scalar, such as 1. Gradient of Unstructured Dataset filter 2. Compute Delivatives filter 3. Phython calculation filter > gradient (scalar) ...and so on. When I calculated the gradient of a certain scalar such as pressure, the results of paraview would be half compared to those of Ensight and SC/Tetra-post. Take a look of the attached image, please. I calculated of a flow in a cylinder using SC/Tetra solver. The results were exported in CGNS file and read in Ensight and Paraview. Gradient (Pressure) was calculated and Z component of Grad (Pressure) was visualized on the surface. SC/Tetra post and Ensight provided the same results. But Paraview made a different result. The computed gradient on the surface was half. This phenomenon occurred in other settings. The values of Grad (velocity-x) or Grad (velocity-y) were also half in paraview compared to Ensight. I also changed the solver (Frontflow red). But the computed gradient by Paraview was half of other software. Why the computed gradient becomes half in Paraview ? ? ? Please teach me, my friends. Thanks a lot ! |
