Plotting the torque
- For plotting the torque one can prepare a gnuplot script.
- The script plots the torque (moment of pressure forces) in direction of the x axis.
- For Linux user one should prepare plotMomentOfForces.gp script
# Script for gnuplot set title "Pressure Moment of Forces in -x direction" set xlabel "Time [s]" set ylabel "Moment of Forces [N.m]" plot "< cat postProcessing/turbine-forces-and-moments/0/forces.dat | tr -d '(' | tr -d ')'" using 1:(-$11) title "Moment of Forces (-x direction)" with lines, pause mouse
- From the case root directory run following command:
# gnuplot plotMomentOfForces.gp
- First process forces.dat file using following command:
# cat postProcessing/turbine-forces-and-moments/0/forces.dat \
| tr -d '(' | tr -d ')' > \
postProcessing/turbine-forces-and-moments/0/forcesWithoutBrackets.dat - This command create new file forcesWithoutBrackets.dat without brackets. Now we can open gnuplot outside cygwin and change directory to windTurbine case. Then one can start using (opening) plotMomentOfForcesWin.plt script.
# Script for gnuplot set title "Pressure Moment of Forces in -x direction" set xlabel "Time [s]" set ylabel "Moment of Forces [N.m]" plot "postProcessing/turbine-forces-and-moments/0/forcesWithoutBrackets.dat" using 1:(-$11) title "Moment of Forces (-x direction)" with lines, pause mouse
