Hi everyone,

I am doing a blood flow simulation in fluent with velocity inlets and outflow boundary conditions. I expect the pressure drop from the inlets to the outlets to be no more than 6-8 mm Hg (800 Pa). When I run the simulation, the contours of static pressure show the minimum value as -2500 Pa ( at the outlets) and the max value to be the somewhere around 3200 Pa ( at the inlets), making the pressure drop 3200 + 2500 = 5700 Pa. I am not sure whats going on with the static pressure as the velocity contours look fine.
Did anyone face this problem? I would deeply appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Rohini
