Hi,

I want to find the mass flow rate of each cell at the inlet patch in the compressible case. I use the following procedure, but in this case it can only handle cases where the normal direction is already known. (For example, the normal direction of the patch is pointing perfectly in the X direction)

Could you tell me how to flexibly calculate the normal mass flow rate [kg/s] for every patch cell?

my procedure;
1. Load the inlet surface data
2. Added filter "cell size"
3. Add filter "calculator" and calculate "rho* U_X* cell area"

Add a filter that exports the normal velocity of the cell to this procedure and you should be fine. But I don't know now.

I welcome any advice or comments.

Kind regards,
Moto
