ivandipia Guest Posts: n/a	I want to use cfx11 to simulate helical pipes. For computational reasons, I would like to consider only a small portion of the pipe and NOT an entire pitch. My problem consists in the boundary conditions at inlet-outlet sections. In fact, it is possible to impose 'rotational' or 'translational' periodicity, but they are not adequate. I just want to 'glue' inlet and outlet, in such a way that flow exiting from outlet enters in the inlet. Has somebody any suggestion?
