Hi all
Sorry for the highly "scientific " terminology" I couldnt think of a better way to describe it

I have modeled oil flow in an engine no problems so far, using Freecad addon CFD

However, I would like to "model" a jet stream of oil so that i can estimate its distance and angle just roughly

so I can get a handle of sizes before I start cutting.

how would I go about this?

model the bearing that produces the oil jet then put that inside a mesh?

and what sort of solver should I use

Hope this makes sense

Kind regards

Stephen
