18.6. Postprocessing Injection Regions

In CFD-Post, there is an injection region object for each injection region that is stored in the results file and that is specified with the Selected 2D Regions option. For details, see Injection Location Type.

Such an injection region object can be used for multiple purposes, including:

  • Visualizing the injection region and approximate shapes of the holes/slots,

  • Calculating the total hole/slot area and other quantities integrated over the injection region,

  • Starting streamlines from the injection region.

For details, see Injection Regions in the CFD-Post User's Guide.

For injection regions defined via a .csv file, you can optionally visualize the injection positions in CFD-Post by defining a point cloud as follows:

  1. Select Insert > Location > Point Cloud, and specify a name for the point cloud.

  2. Set Method to From File.

  3. Set File to the name of the injection region data file (.csv).

  4. Click Apply.

If a .csv file contains multiple data sets, you can create multiple point clouds as follows:

  1. Select File > Import > Import Surface, Line or Point Data.

    The Import Surface, Line or Point Data dialog box appears.

  2. Set File to the name of the csv file.

  3. Set Import As to Point Cloud.

  4. Click OK.

Point clouds are listed in the Outline tree view, under User Locations and Plots.


Note:  For transient blade row cases, hybrid solution values do not correctly show the influence of injection regions on boundary vertices that are directly influenced by any injection region. However, in all cases, conservative solution values are expected to be properly influenced by injection regions.
