Hey Guys,
I’m currently trying to simulate a very slow water flow (5.55e-11m^3/s) inside a small reaction chamber for a coating experiment. I’m particularly interested in the distribution of pressure, velocity, Reynold’s number and shear stress inside the chamber.
For this I opened the following project: SimScale
First of all, I’m not really sure, If I put in all the needed information correctly and also, if I want to show the shear stress, this is what I get:
I would be very glad if someone could check the project and tell we what went wrong where.
Thanks
Hi @jpietras,
Firstly, I think you are looking at wall shear stress, and you desire internal shear stress.
Here, is how you can check wall shear stress on the walls:
Note: node wall shear stress needs to be selected.
But to get shear stress in the fluid you need to do a bit of offline post-processing, I think there are some hints that point towards fluid shear stress here in Paraview:

Where I think you might be after the strain(velocity) part. Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Darren

Thank you, for your fast reply. I’m looking for the wall shear stress on this surface here:
I tried to visualize it using a cutting plain, but It only gave me the picture from my last post.
And how can I show the Reynolds distribution? It probably has to be added in result control, right? Can’t find it though.
