how to get one outlet mass flow from the specified inlet?

rockzh · November 7, 2011, 19:57

There are three inlets(inlet1,inlet2,inlet3) and five outlets in the analysis model .
I want to get the mass flow which comes from inlet1 for one of five outlets,how to get this result in the post-CFX or how to realize in the pre-CFX?

Thanks for your answer.

Put a passive scalar scalar in the flow (in CFX talk an additional variable with a convection equation only, or maybe convection+diffusion) which tags the inlet you are interested in and get its concentration at the outlet of interest.

Thank you for your answer.
how to do that in CFX?Will you please give more information?

I think some of the tutorials use a additional variable. Also look it up in the documentation.
