📊 Plotting 2D Pipeline Scour Results Using Python | Post-Processing SEDFOAM Simulation
In this video, we use Python to extract and visualize simulation results from the 2D Pipeline Scour tutorial run with SEDFOAM in OpenFOAM. While ParaView is great for interactive visualization, Python gives us full control for automated, publication-ready plots.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
How to access and extract OpenFOAM simulation data
Plotting of Sand Bed Profiles, Depth of the Scour
Visualization of sediment movement beneath a pipeline
How scour develops and evolves over time
🧰 Tools Used:
NumPy
Matplotlib
fluidfoam for OpenFOAM data parsing
📁 We’ll plot both spatial and temporal trends, showing how sediment is eroded and deposited around the pipeline — a key phenomenon in marine and offshore engineering.
