  Hi,
  
  I was wondering if it were possible to plot a velocity distribution across a plane to study the wake of an object in an external flow simulation?

  If you mean a velocity contour then yes, not sure about Live, but in Fluent/CFD Post create a surface and plot on that.

  I was able to plot the velocity contours but was wondering if there is any way to plot velocity vs position? (not just in Live)

  Yes you can: Define a chart along a line. X-Axis will be the coordinate, Y-axis is the velocity.

  Thank you! I set Statistical Operator to None and got the desired plot.
  
  Best,
