Density [(kg/m3)m2] in Fluent?

Rakib · September 23, 2015, 02:19

Hello

I am doing a simple two phase 2d simulation. Actually I am interested to check the density variation at outlet. So from surface monitor, I selected: Report Type- Integral and Variable - Density but I am confused about unit that I am getting on the plot. Please check the attached file. What does that unit mean?

Try with sum or avg instead of integral

Area-weighted average should be fine for this.

I second landerfwc - "area weighted average" arguably the best option.

When you select "integral" you're getting the INTEGRAL across the outlet's 'face'. This is why you get the units in (kg/m^3) * m^2.
