Hi

I am computing head losses i a 90º elbow. The difference height between inlet point and outlet point is 1m. When I compute it using fluent the difference between both points regarding to static pressure is close to 0,5 m.

The head losses into the elbow is 0,5 or 1,5 m?. Does fluent considere the difference of height between two points in order to compute the static pressure or i should add the difference height to the static pressure obtained with fuent

Thanks
