Transient Simulation, wall placed at inlet/outlet

jeettrivedi · July 19, 2017, 03:17

Im doing a simulation of an intake plenum with inlet and initialization pressure as 101325 Pa. outlet is a function of seconds vs mass flow in kg/s

when the inlet valve is open mass flow is positive and hence i have no trouble but when the mass flow is negative due to the valve closing. i get an notice that a wall has been placed at inlet and outlet and depending on the value it says some % of area is blocked.

I Believe this is done to prevent reverse flow. when this persists for multiple timesteps cfx gives a return code of 1 and the run ends with no results .

Note : in my geometry only the plenum and runner is modelled. values of mass flow are realistic ranginf from 0.03 to 0.18 kg/s . modeled as SST
