Hi everyone,

I am trying to simulate the attached geometry. As it can be seen, there are 2 inlets. My goal is to supply 10LPM fluid into the system however I don't want to specify the flowrates for inlet1 and inlet 2.

Is there a way to define 10LPM for inlet1+inlet2 and have fluent calculate how much fluid would flow through each inlets?

vinerm will become famous soon enough
Just merge the boundaries into one and apply mass flow rate. Merge is available under Mesh in the top ribbon.

Hello Vinerem,

I actually have tried your suggested approach few times. The problem is I get every time an equal distribution of flow rate. I have 2 fluid domains with different geometries an expect a variable distribution of flow rate. Do you have any ideas?
