Your simulation is not converged. Have you looked here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Ansys...gence_criteria
Also output some backup files as the simulation progresses. You can load them in CFD-Post and it may help you diagnose what is wrong. |

Hey, I am in a same boat right now. Just in case if you know, please let me know - where can I find the function TO FIND the mass flow rate in ANSYS Fluent?
Secondly, I want to know whether the fluid flow is distributed equally or not to my two outlets from one inlet pipe. If you know how to find the fluid distribution (that function in ANSYS fluent), please let me know. Thanks! |

I would suggest to use CFX. This gives many more options in monitoring, like changing range and adding monitors on the fly.. Also, it automatically saves your monitors in your res files, whereas Fluent doesn't. Very frustrating in my opinion.
But if you want to use Fluent and get the values at the end of your run, just go to Results > Reports > Fluxes > MassFlowRate at your boundaries. If you want to monitor them during your run, go to Report definitions and create the samething there and make sure you create a monitor. |

Is this result sufficient enough to tell me that the fluid flow is not distributed equally at outlet 1 and outlet 2 from single inlet pipe? Can you please explain? Your response will be highly appreciated. Thank you! |

Fluent says so, so you might believe it. But It depends on your case, the accuracy and validity of your setup, the convergence, etc.
Impossible for me to say based on the input you provided. |

Mass Flow Rate (M.F.R.) Results can tell me that whether the fluid flow is distributed equally or not at Outlets 1 and 2? Because my M.F.R. result for outlet 1 = -0.429 kg/s outlet 2 = -0.5767 kg/s Does this value tells me that my fluid is not distributed equally? |

Well, I do understand that it truly depends upon my Boundary Conditions, my convergence, and so on. I totally agree with you on that front. But let's assume, that my BC, convergence, and other criteria are perfect. So, then Mass Flow Rate will be sufficient enough to tell me whether my flow is distributed equally or not? As I mentioned above, in my case, I found two different values at outlets 1 and 2. So, should I consider that the flow is not distributed equally? Secondly, Mass flow rate is the only way in ANSYS Fluent which can tell me the fluid flow is distributed properly or not? Thank you so much Gert! |

Yes of course. It tells you that it is not equally distributed.

Thank you Gert, I have been breaking my head for whole day to find this. Watched many tutorials but couldn't find what I have been looking for. You save my time.
One last question, with respect to the same enquiry! In order to find fluid distribution (i.e. equal or non-equal) in two or more pipes from one single pipe, I have set up my boundary condition which is as below: At Inlet, Velocity = 26 m/s At outlet 1, Outflow = 1 At outlet 2, outflow = 1 (flow rate weighing) So, I believe if I will keep outflow same, i.e outflow =1 for both outlets, then ANSYS Fluent will only figure out for the values at Outlet 1 and 2. (Likewise we keep pressure value = 0 at Outlet and then ANSYS Fluent tells us the pressure distribution throughout the body including at outlet - same concept I was thinking here to keep outflow = 1 for both. So, ANSYS will tell me whether my flow is going to be equal at outlets or not?) Please correct me if I am wrong! Just in case if you know, please let me know on this. Thank you so much! |

Remember, this is CFX Forum, not the Fluent Forum.
I know only a bit of Fluent. I don't know what "Outflow = 1" means. But it looks like a fraction to me. So I would use 0.5 for both outlets. Not? I always use pressure outlets or massflow outlets. If you use 2 massflow outlets you can also distribute the flow easily if you set the 1.006kg/s at your inlet. |
