Mass flux through a particular surface

Prateek garg · October 11, 2012, 03:12

Hi,

I am simulating a mixing problem in which fuel and air are entering through different inlet ports. however, I am not able to get stoichiometric ratio, so, want to know how can I check the mass flux through any surface (inlet port) in CFX? If it is in .OUT file how can I check it.

You can get in CFD-Post using the function calculator, or assign an expression like massflow()@inlet1 to a monitor point and then it will be available in the solver manager.
