Turbomachinery CFD post-processing involves a combination of qualitative and quantitative functions, both general purpose and turbo-specific; ANSYS CFX-Post provides both.
In addition to general purpose CFD visualization, turbo-specific views of the data are available in a turbo post-processing mode. Meridional and unrolled blade-to-blade views are available using turbo coordinates. In addition to a variety of relative and absolute frame quantities and coordinates, meridionally-averaged data can be evaluated.
Quantitative calculations can be performed using built-in and user programmable functions, allowing flexible definition of formulas for machine performance, efficiency, etc. These formulas operate on the flow simulation results using the same data resolution as was used inside the flow solver, so quantities like massflow-weighted averages at machine inlet and outlet regions are as accurate as possible. Attention to this level of detail in quantitative calculations ensures the accuracy expected by turbomachinery analysts is also achieved in post-processing.
Equally important is that all post-processing functions are easily scriptable for operation in a batch environment. ANSYS CFX also allows users to easily integrate automatic CFD post-processing in a turbomachinery design process tailored to meet their specific requirements.
