Hi,

(I am a French student, sorry for the language mistakes)

I try to simulate a flow from a syringe into air. I have sketched a syringe, a ground, and a frozen rectangle cut (through a Boolean) between them for the air. However, I have a major problem: I don't know how to make understand to the software that I want the flow to sink into air at the end of the syringe (as a hole). I have tried a lot of things, but in the results I have either all the fluid staying in the syringe, or all the fluid staying in the air, like if there was a concrete separation between the two.

On left and right sides of the interface between syringe and air I have put walls for named selections, but I don't know what to put for the end of the syringe (by the way I have 2 segments superimposed here, one from the syringe part and one from the air part).

I have enclosed many pictures to clarify everything.

If someone could help me, I would be very grateful

Thank you!

Hi Yoann,

If you just want to simulate the air flow leaving the syringe you should use the flow domain (cf. your 2nd picture) and use a name selection at the syringe inlet edge. Do the same for the other BC (wall / outlet / opening) with appropriate names so when importing into fluent it will already pre-assign the BC type.

Have fun
