Reply To: SuperLatticePhysWallShearStress3D() returns norm of wall shear stress tensor

Dear Jonathan,

I have another related problem.

After I have calculated the WSS using SuperLatticePhysWallShearStress3D(). I want to write WSS to disk as a CSV text file for post-processing purposes. I tried two different ways:

1.
a. calculate the WSS using ‘SuperLatticePhysWallShearStress3D<T,DESCRIPTOR> wallShearStressBot(sLattice,superGeometry,4,converter,base)’
b. write data to vtk files, ‘SuperVTMwriter3D<T> vtkWriter(“ellipsoid”);’ then ‘vtkWriter.addFunctor(wallShearStressBotVec);’ and last ‘vtkWriter.write(iT);’
c. extra the WSS using paraview and write WSS as CSV file.

This way is very inconvenient.

2.
a. same as 1.a
b. use the interpolate utility AnalyticalFfromSuperF3D<T> intpolateBotWSS(wallShearStressBot,true); then interpolate the WSS at a given location intpolateBotWSS(WSSBot,loc);
c. write WSSBot and loc to disk.

This way seems better. However, WSS is calculated at a given 2D plane (usually curved) in SuperLatticePhysWallShearStress3D, AnalyticalFfromSuperF3D<T> interpolates the results incorrectly in 3D (the value of WSS outside the plane is 0).

Do you recommend any better ways to write WSS as CSV text to disk?
