  I am currently working on simulating the flow of a fluid over a vertical, rotating membrane. My main goal is to find a method to accurately determine the thickness of this flow. If anyone has prior experience or knowledge about measuring flow thickness in ANSYS Fluent, I would highly appreciate any guidance or advice on this particular matter.
  So far, I have done the simulation through the VOF method, but I can't think of an idea to extract the thickness thorugh the quantitative post-procesisng.
  
  Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

  You can create an iso-surface to mark the vof interface. Then you can use varialbles like say, Mesh>cell wall distance to calculate the thickness
