Animating the Results
You use the exported images of volume fraction of oil to create an animation. This animation allows you to verify the distribution of oil around the domain, and visualize the large scale interface as the gears rotate.
In the Visualizing and Initializing the Volume Fraction of Oil
section, you instructed Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to save the
volume fraction of oil profile every 5 time-steps. The resulting series of
.png files can be used to produce an animation using an
external software of your choice. The following screenshot shows the results after
the physical runtime of 0.2 s. Regions of oil splashing within the pump, as well as
stratified flow, and dispersed bubbles are all present. The interface is captured
with the large time-step used, demonstrating the capability of MMP-LSI for these
types of simulations.
