30.2.2. User Inputs for Stream Function

For 2D planar or axisymmetric flow problems, Ansys Polyflow will automatically calculate a stream function based on the velocity field. To change the point where the stream function vanishes, follow the steps below:

  1. In the task menu, select Assign the stream function.

      Assign the stream function

  2. Specify the condition of the stream function.

    1. Click No when Ansys Polydata asks you if you want the stream function to vanish at the node closest to the coordinates (0, 0).

    2. Enter a New value of X and click OK.

    3. Enter a New value of Y and click OK.
