Impose a pressure drop on internal flow

achille. · February 27, 2024, 10:22

Hi everyone,

I would like to simulate an operating cylinder head flow bench but I struggle with my boundary conditions.
It is an internal flow going through: 1) a horn 2) intake pipe 3) intake valve 4) combustion chamber 5) plenum
I wonder how to set my boundary conditions to force a certain pressure drop, in order to observe the velocity field.
I already tried to set a stagnation inlet and a pressure outlet to control pressure at both boundaries, but it doesn't work...

Thanks by advance !

What exactly does not work?

Initial pressure and/or ramp up the pressure drop.
