How to plot Cp (pressure coefficient) with paraview? Or is there any way of extracting the Cp values on a surface (naca boby for example) and plot it with gnuplot?
Assuming you are using paraview 5.0 or newer version.
1. open the VTK files for certain patch(for example the airfoil)
2. define Cp using the known information with calculator: Cp=(p-p_ini)/q_ini
3. menu, filter, data plot
4. in the display part on the left panel, set Cp as the series parameter, and untick the button 'use index for XAxis', set the X array name as Points_X
