Quick question,
I splitted a cylinder into a 90 degree model and I run a 3D simulation. So the splitted faces has symmetric bc. So, when fluent gives me the volume flow rate it is for the whole model or just for the 90 degree mod? thanks |

Hi,
Surely you can do some hand calcs to check this? I haven't looked at you problem obviously, but I think you should be using periodic boundary conditions, not symmetry. Symmetry would work for a 180 degree model. Regards, Scott |

The flow rate is just for the sector alone and not the full thing. Unless you can guarantee no swirl down the pipe, use periodic zones instead of symmetry.
