Distortion Analysis
DC60 = (PA0 P60min) /q
where,
PA0 - average total pressure at the section,
P60min- minimum total pressure in a 600
sector, q
- dynamic pressure at the cross
section.
User Defined Functions (UDF) and scheme files
were used to generate this information from the
FLUENT case and data file.
Iterations may be stopped when the distortion
values stabilize at the exit section with
reasonable convergence levels.
