Flow Field Quantities
The results that are related to the finite volume mesh of the model are displayed as Flow Field Quantities.
These include the pressure field, velocity field, and turbulence field results. You can set the result type by clicking the [P], [U], [k], or [ε] button in the Results - Flow Field Quantities area of the panel.
Pressure Field
The pressure field represents a section through the wind tunnel which illustrates the wind pressure distribution of the air flow. Drag is represented by positive magnitudes, lift by negative ones.
The section is presented in one of the global planes (XY, XZ, YZ) that can be controlled by the corresponding buttons in the toolbar. To evaluate pressure fields at specific sections through the model, use the Slicer options described in the Chapter 'Slicer'.

Velocity Field

The velocity field represents a section through the wind tunnel illustrating the wind speed distribution. It enables you to evaluate the scalar field of wind velocity on your model.
The section is presented in one of the global planes (XY, XZ, YZ) that can be controlled by the corresponding buttons in the toolbar. To evaluate velocity fields at specific sections through the model, use the Slicer options described in the Chapter 'Slicer'.
Turbulence - k Field
These results show a section through the wind tunnel illustrating the distribution of turbulences with respect to the turbulence kinetic energy k (see the Chapter 'Turbulence').
By moving the slicer plane, you can examine the effects of turbulence at specific locations.
Turbulence - Epsilon Field
Alternatively, the ε field results of the turbulence can be displayed.
