Hi,

I want to model a heat exchanger, 50 tubes. Is it better to have 50 inlets and outlets or connect the tubes via a manifold? I made the tubes as sweep, and the manifiolds as sweep, thats 52 solids. The tubes are in then another fluid. So now I have 2 domains and lots of interfaces (tubes to manifold both ends, domain 2nd fuid to tubes). Thats lots of trouble defining interfaces. If I was to get rid of the manifolds, I would have to define inlets/outlets each tube.

Any ideas?

cheers,

Steffen
