Reverse flow and results does not converge

irenefong92 · January 29, 2015, 01:24

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I am facing a problem now.. I am simulating water and oil flow in a valve like element, and keep facing the problem of reverse flow at the outlet. isit normal to have reverse flow?

p/s I had extent the outlet to be longer then the 7-8x longer then the inlet. but still it shows reverse flow.

Please help.

What kind of outlet are you using?

Maybe you have to check your dimensions ( x-y-z- coordinates) and the values( - or + for the directions)
