Contours

The most common contours for the cavitation are the Vapor Volume Fraction contours across the domain. The steps to create contours are:

1. Click Load Results in the Simulation Panel.
2. Select the required result file in the ensuing Load Results dialog box, click Open.

Create a section

A section is created with the following steps.

1. Click Create a Cross-Section in the Geometric Entities Panel. A new section Section 01 is created under Derived Surfaces.
2. Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces.
3. Select Plane Z for Type in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.
4. Enter 0 for Position.

Vapor Volume Fraction Contour

1. Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Vapor Volume Fraction under Derived Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel, see Figure 11.250. For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.
