Help needed in Paraview 5.10

Rahmat1 · March 18, 2023, 12:25

I have modeled a test case for cfd analysis and obtained the results. The problem is as follows:
A ball is located inside a cylinder. Inlet BC is assigned as mass flow and outlet as pressure. Solution is obtained and read into paraview. Now I’m interested in pressure value (some kind of averaging) at the inlet. Can someone guide me how to get the average pressure at the inlet? I’m new here and have limited knowledge of paraview. I appreciate your help

Depending on the format of the results (vtk, foam case, etc) you need to isolate your inlet. You can use filters like clip or slice to do so. If you have an openfoam case, you can use the Extract Block filter to isolate the inlet. Once you have it separately, you can create a Python Calculator or Python Annotation and use "mean(pressure)" to extract the average pressure. (Replace "pressure" with the actual field name your solver puts out).

Good luck.
