I want to plot the graph of turbulence intensity vs height of domain. How to do that in Ansys cfx for steady state analysis?
You can plot the velocity (U) vs height and kinetic turbulence energy (k) vs height graph at any particular location. First, create a line at any particular location by defining the endpoints. Then we can calculate turbulence intensity by using these equations , I= u'/U, u'=sqrt(2/3*k)
On CFD-Post you need to create a line, from the bottom to the top of the domain.
Then insert a chart. On data series tab, select the line you created on location. On X axis tab, select Turbulence Kinetic Energy. On Y axis, select the vertical coordinate (Z). Then apply.
You can also export the TKE values on File -> export -> export, selecting the variables and the location (line).
Dr. Willian Andreão I think this is the easiest way to export the data directly from ANSYS CFX. I also validated from the Turbulence Intensity Equation. A comparison between the ANSYS data and mathematical expression plot presented her.
