I am new to COMSOL. I set up a stationary 3D laminar flow study that is pressure dependent. After the computation has completed I see Velocity and Pressure in the results but I would like to know the volumetric flow rate. How can I get the flow rate at an outlet?

I have tried to replace the expression in the velocity slice plot from spf.U (m^3/s) to spf.U*h*h (cm^3/h). The flow rate calculated look approximately correct but I do not know how to verify if it is correct or not.

Results > Derived Values > Surface Integration > Expression = spf.U

Select outlet(s). Set desired units.
