1 Short description
Calculates the mass flow through boundary patches and face sets
2 Motivation
3 Usage
The utility is controlled by a Dictionary. The contents of the dictionary are
- a list bcs of names of the surfaces. The surfaces can be
- boundary patches
- face sets
- for incompressible calculations a density rho can be defined. This is used to correct (in other words multiply) the results to get the same values as those printed by Fluent.
- for radial/symmetric calculations a scaleFactor can be defined
4 Notes
- The utility can be used for compressible and incompressible faces
- The utility assumes the existence of a phi (if phi is missing for a time-step, no calculation is done for that time-step)
- It does not work in parallel. For parallel calculations of the mass-flow there is a discussion on the Message board.
