The FLOWPLOT plotting program may be used with numerical fluid dynamics (or heat transfer with convection) codes to create velocity vector plots and/or contour plots of up to three fluid parameters (e.g. pressure, density, and temperature). FLOWPLOT reads a data set created by the user's fluid dynamics code. This data set must contain parametric data at every nodal point of a rectangular grid. FLOWPLOT uses the Display Integrated Software System and Plotting Language (DISSPLA). Therefore, the user has the option of creating the plot data set on CALCOMP tape or creating a compressed plot data set that may be input to the DISSPLA postprocessor. This program has been stored on disk at ORGDP on the IBM 360/370 computing system.
