mass flow and pressure BC known at inlet, outlet BCs unknown

akashmpatil · December 12, 2013, 07:37

Hello,
I wish to analyze a compressible flow through a bit complex geometry.
I know my mass flow rate and pressure at the inlet.
Boundary conditions at outlet are not known.
I can't use outflow boundary condition as the flow is compressible.
Hence, I am unclear about the selection of the inlet and the outlet boundary conditions.

If anyone knows how to solve this or faced similar situation, please help me out.

Cheers!
