EnSight can compute many boundary layer variables via the variable calculator. It can also compute the following variables in bulk (at essentially the same compute costs):
| Type | Named |
|---|---|
| boundary layer thickness | (bl_thickness) |
| displacement thickness | (bl_displ_thickness) |
| momentum thickness | (bl_momen_thickness) |
| shape parameter | (bl_shape_parameter) |
| skin friction coefficient | (bl_skin_friction) |
You must have a 2D surface in a 3D field and specify the 2D surface as the parent part(s).
For a complete description of these variables, refer to the Ansys EnSight User Manual.
