Velocity overprediction

Hi!
What may cause the flow velocity overprediction of 30% in its maximum point? Problems begin already at the secondary inlet boundary : the U-velocity value after computation is 55% higher than the initial one defined in the BC. The flow swich for BC is 'Fixed Mass'. Thanks, Julie |

You should use the 'Fixed Velocity' switch for your second inlet as opposed to 'Fixed Mass'. STAR-CD adjusts the inlet velocity to match the mass flow that you want fixed by (roe)*A*|U|.

Hi,
The problem is that I need mass flow to be fixed... There was no overprediction with more coarse grid even with 'Fixed Mass' option. Regards, Julie |
