Paraview failed to correctly show the distribution of velocity
Hi, I recently got a quite strange problem when visualizing the OpenFOAM
simulation results using ParaView
. I followed this tutorial to set up a parabolic inlet velocity profile and used simpleFoam
to run a simulation for flow past a wall mounted cube.
When I use ParaView
to visualize the velocity distribution on inlet, the results are wrong.
To further check the results, I use sample
utility provided by OpenFOAM
to extract velocity on the plane of symmetry (same position as shown in above figure), and the result is
I also have utilized Tecplot
and Fluent
to check the results and it looks right.
I am curious whether that's bug of ParaView
. The information about the version of software is listed as below:
ParaView
: 5.7.0
and 5.8.0
(Both show wrong results)
OpenFOAM
: 4.x
(simpleFoam
solver)
mesh was generated by gmsh 4.0
I upload the case files (include results and mesh files) here and hope it can help.
