Please Help on advising me on Plotting of Mach Number Contour Plot with Tecplot 360

Hi everyone,

I am very new to tecplot 360, so i appreciate everyone for their help.

I would like to plot the mach number contour plot of a blade at different slices of the blade for example from the tip area, hub area and mid span.

Can i check with the experts how can I do it?

I have a list of values on x,y,z, rho, ux, uy, uz, P name under file .tec?

I presume the rho and P are the local values, and i will need to calculate T with T=P/(rho*R) and than follow by calculating the local Mach number?

Thank you if you could advise and share with me some tips.

You can use Calculate Variables under the Analyze Menu to calculate both Temperature and Mach Number. You'll need to specify the thermodynamic variables in Analyze->Field Variables... first. Once you've calculated Mach Number you can add slices to your plot and color them by Mach Number.

Hope that helps.
