Hello!
I am using Ansys Fluent v18.0 -> MHD module -> Magnetic Induction method to model MHD flows in square ducts. I would like to see the electric potential distribution in the cross-section, but I see no option for that in the post-processing section. UDS tab only has B_x, B_y and B_z, and User defined memory tab only has B_0_xyz, B, J_xyz, E_xyz, F_xyz, etc., but no sight of electric potential phi. I believe you could display it older versions of Fluent, maybe I am wrong.
So my question is simple:
Is it possible to display the electric potential distribution when using the Magnetic Induction method in Ansys Fluent v18.0?
Thank you!
hello everyone,
1- If you want to take the better and faster way, take Openfoam as open access software...
2- For Ansys Fluent software, attached file maybe help you..
Thank you for your answer Naas Toufik Tayeb.
Other people have also suggested that I move to OpenFOAM, but it means starting from scratch in my case. So, sticking to Fluent seems less of a hassle at the moment. The Fluent manual unfortunately does not hold the answer to my question. But the implication is that you cannot display electric potential when using the magnetic induction method. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong.
Thank you,
Ivars
