Lines of temperature contours appears winding?

  Dear users,
  
  I tried to draw dimensionless temperature contours in an enclosure but it appeared unclear and winding like below:
  
  May somebody tell me the reason for that and is there a possible solution to make the contours lines uniform?
  
  Regards,

  Check filed under contour plots

  Hi Mr. Abenhadj
  
  I not willing to use filled contours I want to use lines only.
  
  Thank you

  The result is showing the field without filled contours: the result is that the bounds between each level are "winding". What do you expect to see?

  Hey rwoolhou,
  
  I expected to see the temperature lines be smooths and not overlapping into each other? similar to the mass fraction lines that appear homogeneous and clear like below:

  Do not select any boundary and choose option filled. Use actual version. 15.0 is not supported.

  But it works well with me and simulations run with it?

  Yes, that was just an info in case there is something buggy.
  
  Now what about the contour plot?

  Yes I do not select any boundary and again I am not hoping to use fill option

  Do you want to see contour? Please use filled option and post the picture.
