Hi all,

That is so simple question actually,

I am working on flow behaviour in a closed system (system has variable cross section) and only flow and turbulence equations has been solved

There are a lot of holes in the system. Only one hole that is placed in top is to change its location (upward/downward). I just wonder what difference of mass flow rate change whenever I change its location.

But I have done 7 different analysis for every change in its location. I have seen that all other holes being fixed location has different mass flow rate.That's why hole in top has different value in every time for saking continuity equation.

What reason could it be? or ıs there any thought?

By the way, all wall boundary conditions has a constant temperature. But I have solved it without energy equations but I have seen heat transfer rate in FLUENT>fluxes. How could it be possible?

by the way again, all geometries are associated with first made duplicated fluid flow

Kind Regards,
