I was simulating a compressor with volute. I made some streamlines in CFD-Post and it seems the static entropy first go up and then decreased. As the flow is approximately adiabatic in compressor, how can static entropy goes down?

Opaque will become famous soon enough
Have you computed the massFlowAve(Static Entropy)@Inlet and Outlet and compared them?

I tried this:
(massFlowAve(Static Entropy)@Plane 1 - massFlowAve(Static Entropy)@Plane 2 )/ massFlowAve(Static Entropy)@Plane 1

And it trend to be the Static Entropy decreased about 3%.
