Internet-Based Graphic User Interface for Postprocessor of Computational Fluid Dynamics

The program developed during this research includes postprocessor, Navier-Stokes solver with remote server. Postprocessor of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) takes data from solver and shows results graphically. Flow visualization graphic user interface with Visual C#.NET is easily possible to find the input data error and observe interactive computational results while the Navier-Stokes solver code is running, so that there is no need to wait and store all data files until the program completes. The Solver is based on a combination of the Visual C#.NET application and FORTRAN 77 code. The program developed is interactive plotting program for visualizing and analyzing engineering and scientific data from the Navier-Stokes solver code. It is necessary to use network access and powerful solver computer (server) to extend accessibility of the present program. The postprocessor program can take data file from the solver or remote solver. The program introduces XY plot, mesh plot, boundary plot, vector plot, and contour plot with different options. Residual plot shows (root-mean-square) RMS error history graphically and takes data from solver or remote solver. The results obtained by using the program developed were compared
