Visualizing and Initializing the Solution

We will view the air and glycerine distributions throughout the run by creating a new scalar scene.

Right-click on the Scenes node and then select New Scene > Scalar.

The Scalar Scene 1 display will appear.

In the Graphics window, right-click on the scalar bar and select Volume Fraction of C3H8O3 from the pop-up menu.

In the object tree, select the Scenes > Scalar Scene 1 > Displayers > Scalar 1 node.

Change the Contour Style property setting to Smooth Filled.

Click on the

(Initialize Solution) button in the top toolbar or use the Solution > Initialize Solution menu item.

Activate the Scalar Scene 1 display to look at the initialization results.

As expected, at the start of the run the left chamber is entirely filled with glycerine whereas the right chamber and the connecting channel are entirely filled with air. A small region in which both fluids are apparently present is visible at the interface between the two, but this effect is simply due to the coarseness of the mesh.

Save the simulation.
