Opening vs Entrainment

Red Ember · June 10, 2016, 03:32

Hi to all

My question concerns using ANSYS CFX, steady state analysis type.
Can anybody give more or less obvious examples for Opening and Entrainment boundary conditions? What is the difference (ansys help without pictures was almost useless for me)?

I've the same issue.
My problem is a open domain with inlet and outlet known flows.

Entertainment allows the flow to flow out in any direction, it doesn't have to be normal to the surface, or any other specified direction.
There may be more differences, that's just what I know off the top of my head.

The CFX documentation may be more help than the ANSYS "help"
