Conditions required to establish mass flow/volume flow

Hi,

I am in the process of carry out some more CFD analysis on an intake manifold and I can get all the usual pressure & velocity results but I am unable to produce mass/volume flow results.

Can anyone chime in and provide me with some tips on what boundary conditions, and anything else that is required, to produce mass/volume flow results

Thanks,

Ariel

What is your setup?

Your options in flow are pressure inlet, pressure outlet to get flow rate through the system. Or velocity/mass flow/volume flow and pressure to determine the pressure at the flow end.

In either situation the mass or volume flow are measured on the lids with surface goals or parameters.

  Ok, so I have done all that. Run the simulation, now how do I display the mass/volume flow? I can only view the results via the Surface Parameters via an Excel spreadsheet.

    What else do you want to see?
    
    They are integral values plotted on faces through surface parameters.
