I am carrying out a fluid structure interaction analysis as a result of a pulsatile flow through an artery using ANSYS CFX and Mechanical.

At present I am trying to set the inlet boundary condition using the equation for Womersley number. I have so far set the following expressions in ANSYS CFX setup:

Diameter = 0.033 [m]
Viscosity = 6.2e-6 [m^2/s]
pulsefrequency = 0.9 Hz

Womersley number = (diameter/2)*((viscosity/pulsefrequency)^(1/2))


So when I go to insert a boundary condition and select an inlet boundary condition, I am wondering how can I use this expression?

Under boundary conditions I set my flow regime as subsonic, the mesh motion as stationary however under mass and momentum I can only input conditions relating to velocities as far as I can see.

I am a relatively new user of ANSYS so any step by step instructions on how to overcome this issue would be very useful.

Thanks in advance.

Right click the space at the inlet BC and you will find the expressions tab and select your expression
