Hi guys,

I'm new to ansys fluent. I am currently simulating a model where pressurized water (about 40 psi) goes into a pipe and comes out of 5 smaller outlets at atmospheric pressure.
I know the volume flow rate of water going into the pipe. I want to find out the volume flow rate of water coming out.

This is the general setup of my model
Model: SST k-omega
Material: water (liquid)
Boundary condition: Inlet: pressure inlet, inlet pressure 40 psi, intensity and hydraulic diameter
Outlets: pressure outlet,backflow ref frame (absolute), backflow direction specification method (normal to boundary), backflow pressure specification (total pressure), turbulence intensity and hydraulic diameter

How can I calculate the total volume flow rate out of the outlets? Is this setup good enough or is there a better setup?
Is there a way to input inlet volume flow rate in ansys fluent?

I understand that adding picture would help, but I can't do that due to intellectual property concerns
