how to calculate mass flux through a boundary in openfoam

subash · June 23, 2010, 03:15

Hi,

I am running a compressible flow problem using sonicFoam.
I would like to get(post process) the mass flux through the outlet of the geometry.
Is there an utility in Openfoam that I can directly use, can someone help me with this.

Regards,
subash
