Turbulent Flow in Diffuser: Exercise 7—Analyzing Results
This exercise describes how the results are analyzed during and after the simulation. To hide CAD surfaces (not the fluid domain), switch between CAD Bodies and Flow Analysis Bodies in the Show group. Clear any variable display by selecting No Selection in the Legend drop-down. Click XYPlot Panel to view the XY Plot.

1. To show/hide selected geometric entities, click Show in View Panel.
2. To change the color scheme, click on More in the Legend and select between Blue Red and Blue Purple.

Validation
The coefficient of pressure at diffuser wall is calculated as follows:
where,
P
Pressure at the diffuser walls (Pa): From monitoring points
ρ
Density (kg/m3): 1.15758
Pdiffuser
Pressure at the diffuser outlet (Pa): -2.6066
u
Inlet velocity m/s: 18.06
The monitoring points in the simulation are used to measure the pressure close to the diffuser wall:
