June 22, 2006, 22:55

hi,

iam analysing a uniflow cyclonic seperator.at the outlet iam specifying outflow boundary condition as i know mass fraction through each outlet(i have two outlets). I got congverged solution but with reverse flow message till the end.how far the results are reliable? thanks for ur time.. regards Thiyaga.
