Hello everyone,

1.What is blockage ratio?

2.What is the maximum allowable value for blockage ratio?

3.Does it(max value) vary depending on the geometry we choose?

The simulation performed here is flow over a smooth sphere.

Please do reply

Thank you

1. The ratio of the model's frontal area over the test section area.
2. I'm not sure but I think up to about 10%
