monali2015m is on a distinguished road
The simulation is of natural ventilation for different configurations (all single-sided ventilation cases with different no.of openings).

based on the paper I am using, I have to calculate the mean age of air[sec] and air flow rate[m3/s] in order to calculate air exchange efficiency (AEE).

I calculated the MAA [sec]using a user-defined scalar, but I don't know how to calculate the air flow rate[m3/s]. my best option is if there is an expression I can use in the CFD post to calculate the air flow rate?
but any other way would help
