Preparing Visualization Scenes and Plots

You visualize the volume fraction of air on a section plane. On the degassing outlet, you visualize the mass flow rate of air. Additionally, you monitor and plot the mass flow rate of the air and water phases through the degassing boundary.

To set up scenes and plots:

  1. Create a scalar scene to visualize the volume fraction of air:
    1. Right-click the Scenes node and select New > Scalar.
    2. Rename the Scalar Scene 1 node to Volume Fraction of Air.
    3. Expand the Volume Fraction of Air node and set the following properties:
      Node Property Setting
      Scalar 1 Contour Style Smooth Filled
      Parts Derived Parts > Plane Section
      Scalar Field Function Volume Fraction > Volume Fraction of Air
      Max 0.2
    4. Click (Save-Restore-Select views) and select Views > +X > Up +Y.
      This action switches the view to the side of the tank.
  2. Create the second scalar scene to display the mass flow rate of air through the degassing boundary.
    1. Create a scalar scene.
    2. Rename the Scalar Scene 1 node to Mass Flow Rate of Air.
    3. Expand the Mass Flow Rate of Air node and set the following properties:
      Node Property Setting
      Scalar 1 Contour Style Smooth Filled
      Parts Region > Boundaries > Degassing Outlet
      Scalar Field Function Mass Flow Rate > Mass Flow Rate of Air
    4. Click (Save-Restore-Select views) and select Views > +Y > Up -X.
      This switches to the top view of the tank.
  3. Create the Mass Flow reports and monitors.
    1. Right-click the Reports node and select New > Flow / Energy > Phase Mass Flow.
    2. Rename the Phase Mass Flow 1 node to Air Mass Flow Out.
    3. Select the Reports > Air Mass Flow Out node and set the following properties:
      Property Setting
      Phase Air
      Parts Region > Boundaries > Degassing Outlet
    4. Right-click the Reports node and select New > Flow / Energy > Phase Mass Flow.
    5. Rename the Phase Mass Flow 1 node to Water Mass Flow Out.
    6. Select the Reports > Water Mass Flow Out node and set the following properties:
      Property Setting
      Phase Water
      Parts Region > Boundaries > Degassing Outlet
    7. Multi-select the Air Mass Flow Out and Water Mass Flow Out nodes, right-click the selected nodes and select Create Monitor and Plot from Report.
    8. In the Create Plot From Reports dialog, click Single Plot.
  4. Save the simulation.
