Fellow FOAMers,

i am currently simulating the flow in a tube with one inlet and two outlets. In Fluent, there is a mass flow split BC (http://hpce.iitm.ac.in/website/Manua...ug/node246.htm):
if you set, e.g., 0.5 for both outlets, the inlet flow will be split to 50% for each outlet (no matter what the geometry looks like).

Does something like that exist in OF? I couldn't find anything... maybe it could be built from flowRateInletVelocity?


Any help or advice is appreciated.
