hi all
i don't know what does P-vol in RMS equation refer to?
i know it is about continuity equation but what is the exact meaning?
i also know it changes into RMS mass by changing the boundary conditions
would you pleas help me figure it out?
best regards

ghorrocks is just really niceghorrocks is just really niceghorrocks is just really niceghorrocks is just really nice
This is all explained in the CFX theory manual.

But I do not understand your question "I also know it changes into RMS mass by changing the boundary conditions". That does not make sense to me.

i mean it is sometimes P-vol and sometimes P-mass.
i have the theory guide but i don't know where to look for it.i searched for P-vol equation but i didn't find anything.
by the way thanks for your quick reply glenn.

It's P-vol when you are solving multiphase problems, P-mass otherwise.

On multiphase problems the continuity equation is re-written as a volume conservation equation, therefore P-vol (P is because it is used to return the Pressure - the manual has this covered). Additional conservation equations are solved for each phase, giving you the volume fraction.

when you use segreted solution it is p-vol and when you are using coupled solutin it is p-mass in multiphase flows
