You should be able to compute the mass flow on the boundaries of the domain interface. What do I mean?
An ANSYS CFX domain interface joins two sides, say Side 1 and Side 2. Those sides are represented by boundaries. Usually named as <interface name> Side 1, and <interface name> Side 2 You should be able to monitor massFlow()@<interface name> Side 1 as well as massFlow()@<interface name> Side 2 but you cannot massFlow()@<interface name> For a conservative domain interface, massFlow()@<interface name> is identically 0 by definition. What comes through one side (say >0) has to leave through the other side (<0); therefore, the total sum is 0. It may be non-zero due to discretization details on non-conformal meshes. Hope the above helps,

MyAVExpressionX=Density*x I say create an Additional Variable, see Insert menu for details. Once created, - activate the variable in the domain of interest - select algebraic equation - In the additional variable value widget, add you expression: Additional Variable Value = Density*x or Additional Variable Value = MyAVExpressionX - Press Apply, - Add your monitor expression It will work.
