Visualization

In this section is explained how to visualize the results.

Using Paraview

ParaView allows to graphically visualize the results and open .vtu and .pvtu files. There are a lot of embedded and advanced tools.

By default, no .vtu are created, to save disk space. Creating Log/PrintSim.txt allows to monitor the current state of the simulation creating .pvtu files. If you cancel the directory, or re-name the file, the code will stop creating .pvtu files, it a way to interact in-real-time with the application running.

You can create a Paraview files collecting in sequence all the .vtu to visualize them in temporal sequence. Use the provided api specifying the folder where your .vtu are stored.

using SegregatedVMSSolver.CreateVtu

create_vtu_file("Results_vtu/")
numeric info

It is suggested to use it at the beginning of the simulation to check the convergence of the simulation and the boundary conditions. It may consume a lot of storage space saving all time steps for 3D simulations.
