But I am holidays at the moment so cannot look this up to check it correct. If you get the absolute value of the normal component of the velocity at the interface...

I have not checked but am pretty sure massflow gives the total flux, so it can go positive or negative. If there are regions of both forward and backward flow it will return the net flux...

In V11 or earlier you have to cut the mesh and reconnect it with an interface, preferably with a 1:1 connection. Then you have a surface to...

And as I mentioned previously use the massFlow() function to get the massflow directly on your surface. Glenn Horrocks

Hi, I suspect he is looking for the total mass flow, not the massflow per cell. In this case you don't use the areaAve() function, but should use the massFlow() function instead. Glenn Horrocks

Hi, In CFX you should use the massFlow() CEL expression to calculate the mass flows. Then it will correctly account for the integration points which your simple area times velocity approach does...
