About Course

Product Overview

This tutorial shows you how to use ParaView, a powerful open-source visualization tool, to post-process CFD data from an OpenFOAM simulation of fluid flow over an oscillating cylinder. With a focus on effective visual communication of simulation results, you’ll explore essential ParaView filters such as Stream Traces and Glyphs to create insightful and visually compelling outputs.

Whether you’re preparing for presentations, publications, or deeper flow analysis, this tutorial will help you extract, visualize, and interpret fluid flow characteristics in a clear and professional way.
