how to connect two separate outlets

Martin_Sz · August 31, 2021, 06:11

Hello Im facing with problem
I have multiple inlets and outlet. The are separate geometrical. I need to coonect two outlets to make flow from them.
Its good to make interface on these outlets or something else??

Yes, this is an actual question for me now!

If you can get away with same massflow on inlet-outlet-combination and same massflow average Temperature and/or concentrations, then it is possible to do this in CFX using expressions. E.g., if the fluid entering through inlet 1 equals the conditions from Outlet1, then you can write:

MassFlowIn1=massFlow()@Outlet1
TempIn1 = massFlowAve(Temperature)@Outlet1

Remember, this ignores any profile information, which is probably not so important if the inlet and outlet are far away anyway.
