ztdep Senior Member p ding Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 427 Rep Power: 19	the "surfaceFieldValue areaAverage" function was utilized to report the inlet mass flux, and the inlet area was also documented. However, an inconsistency was identified in the results pertaining to the inlet area. Specifically, for an inlet with dimensions 3.2 x 2 (resulting in an area of 6.4), the function returned a value of 3.57059050 in the file, which is discordant. I tried to run it with 1 cpu, it report a correct value of 6.4. The cause of this discrepancy remains unclear. Any insights or suggestions to address this issue would be greatly appreciated.
