Mass flow calculation

I am solving a problem in which the flow goes into and out of a single defined surface. Please see the screenshot. Since there is no boundary between the regions that the flow goes in or out in the surface, CFD Post shows that the mass flow is zero at the surface.
Is there a way to estimate the mass flow that goes in/out seperately? I was thinking that if I could use a conditional statement in which areaInt (density*velocity) is positive it should show the mass flow in one direction and if it is negative it would show the other mass flow. Is is correct? |
