Hello all,

Is there any way in fluent to find the head loss along the pipe? I really need this. If someone knows any ways, please let me know.


Thanks in advance.

Change in velocity between the inlet and outlet should give you an idea of the head loss.
That and drop in total pressure - drop in static pressure should also tell you how much your head loss is.

Thank you Luke. Did you mean (drop in total pressure-drop in static pressure)?

What I have done is ,

hloss=(z1-z2)+ (V1^2-V2^2)/(2*g)
since my bc at inlet and outlet were pressure inlet and pressure outlet respectively.

Is it okay?
