Boundary Condition for closed loop CFD Analysis

January 3, 2005, 08:17

Hi,

I am trying to simulate a closed loop flow with conjugate heat transfer analysis. What kind of boundary condition should I give in StarCd to get the flow mass flow rate. I think only 1 boundary conidtion in the loop should do. Please guide.

Thanks

I don't think you want any boundary condition at all. There are post-processing methods that allow you to sum up the fluxes crossing a set of shells or cell-faces anywhere in the model.
