Hello there!

Quick question, how can I mesure the volumetric flowrate?
I am performing a Compressible flow simulation in Fluent, using

"Results / Reports / Fluxes / Inlet / Compute "

But I can only obtain the mass flow rate. I want to get my volumetric flow rate.

Thus, how can I mesure the volumetric flowrate? Shall I use the post-cfd utitlity?

Thank you!!

Go to Surface Integrals -> Report Type = Volume Flow Rate
