I'm running a multiphase case where I have water leaving a tank and then falling through a volume of air to the ground. I'm trying to figure out my mass flow rate out of the tank. From What I've read I need a patch at the exit of the tank.
I'm using Salome to generate a mesh. The issue im having is creating a patch between my tank and my volume of air... So I guess ultimately my question is, does anyone know how to create a patch internal to my mesh? |

when you use a Salome you must creat a face from your file and choose a name for that for example "Outlet" and when you read your file in openfoam you can see a boundry in constant>polyMesh>Boundry after that you can define this boundry in 0 folder for BC. best regards Sajad |

hi,
sorry if I misunderstand you, but that seems not to be working for internal faces. Instead I get a faceZone. Did you manage to create an internal patch to calculate your mass flux with? |
