How to visualize

  1. Download internal.vtu from the card above.
  2. Click Open ParaView Glance to open the official Kitware web app.
  3. In Glance, click Open files and select internal.vtu.
  4. In the Color By dropdown, select T (temperature) — you'll see the 20→80 °C gradient.
  5. Try U (velocity magnitude) to see the flow field.
  6. Optionally load the boundary .vtp files to visualize wall temperatures separately.
