Streamlines

Version 3 of HYDRUS can calculate and display streamlines for a given steady-flow velocity field. Streamlines are one of the most commonly used graphical representations of CFD results and display very clearly the flow direction. There is also an option to run a flow animation, i.e., the movement of particles along streamlines. Users can save this animation as a video file and use it for a presentation of HYDRUS results.

3D Streamlines. Streamlines can be calculated for a given time layer (i.e., steady state flow) from a set of seed points. Seed point sources of several types can be set graphically.

Particle Animation. The movement of particles can be animated as flowing-lines or flowing-particles.

The following commands are available from the Streamlines part of the Results Menu:
