mass flow outlet non-rotating vs. frame rotation

Hi,
I have an incompressible flow pipe with a pressure inlet, and 2 outlets. One outlet is ambient, and the other is an imposed outlet mass flow rate (it points radially like a jet). I am using a UDF to ramp up the outlet flow rate gradually in parallel with ramping up the rotational velocity of the whole domain. When i solve this with frame rotation, my UDF is like "ignored" and the mass flow at the outlet doesnt match the UDF, and is much larger. When i solve this without frame rotation, my UDF is respected and the mass flow at the outlet is as expected. Could this be related to the tangential velocity generated as a result of rotation? How might i achieve my goal of a fixed mass flow rate normal to the boundary? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Tyler |
