TransAT Tutorial Manual 4.2. Sloshing

• transat mb.inp: a copy of transat mb.inp with all available parameters used for the simu-
lation

• ND numbers: non-dimensional numbers of the simulation

• sloshing.log: log-file of the simulation
• mass conserve.dat: mass of gas and liquid at all time steps

• max residuals.dat: maximum residual at all time steps
• avg residuals.dat: averaged residual at all time steps

4.2.7.2 Viewing Results in Paraview
The results of the simulation can be seen with the help of the Open-Source Visualisation Tool,
Paraview. To plot the data: To launch ParaView, click Start and select All Programs >
ParaView-4.0.1 > ParaView.
• Click File − > Open.

• Navigate to the RESULT folder which is in the Project folder and choose xy-sloshing...vtm.
• Click .

• Create a Contour object by clicking in the toolbar (alternatively, select Filters − >
Alphabetical − > Contour in the menu bar).
• Choose variable PHI (PHI is the Level-Set function).

• Set value of the contour to be 0.
• Click .

• Make visible the father object (xy-sloshing.0000*) by clicking the icon.

• Choose the“DEN” variable from the drop-down list.
• Play the animation by clicking the in the toolbar.

In Figure 4.11 and Figure 4.12 the initial and the final states of the two–phase systems are
plotted. The contour object which is the white line on Figure 4.11 and Figure 4.12 represents the
liquid-gas interface. To get a rough idea about visualisation of TransAT results with ParaView,
please refer to the TransAT Paraview Tutorial .

More detailed information can also be found in the Paraview Tutorial on the ParaView website.
