Hi,
I studied a paper about simulation of an turbine by using Fluent and I saw the following sentence and I don't have any information about that. "All converged solutions had a mass imbalance of less than 0.3%" In Fluent, how i can set above sentence? I am grateful that guide me about this cases. Thanks |

This means that the mass of the fluid at the inlet subtracted to the mass of the fluid at the outlet differs for a 0.3% (absolute value).
This cannot be set, you can check the mass imbalance in the "report" tab.

Shouldn't absolute value of (inlet mass-outlet mass) be divided on mass of the fluid at the inlet until to be expressed as a percentage? |
