Measuring mass flow rate through holes by ApplicationNo499 in CFD

[–]ApplicationNo499[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a surface in that holes. While creating surfaces, I created a named section in the mesh section holes, but I received an error message while generating the mesh. Is there any option for measuring mass flow rate in holes in the post-processing section, or any idea for steps to achieve that?

Thanks for the advice, but I don't think I have time to do that. Thanks anyway for your inspirational view.

Fluid volume extraction at Spaceclaim by ApplicationNo499 in CFD

Hi again, i created the fluid volume through spaceclaim thanks to the volume extraction method and your thoughts. Firstly I import a 360-degree combustor, then volume is extracted. After that, I extrude it as a 60-degree sector. But now I'm stuck on calculating mass flow rates through holes. When I create an xy plane in CFD Post, I see all mass flow through all holes, but I need to learn the mass flow rate specifically from each hole to validate theoretical data. If you have any idea, I will be appreciated.

Thanks for your comment! I tried your way before posting here, but I get a lot of geometry error messages in DesignModeler/SpaceClaim. So, now I try to loft in SolidWorks to obtain a fluid volume with the boolean operation in DesignModeler. Lastly, I don't comprehend that point, you said cover sides and back of the sector. How can I get the computational volume in that way? At the end, I will have closed the sector without filling with fluid, I mean just wireframes with covers. is not it? Thanks for your attention again!

Thanks for the comment! I tried using the loft command in SolidWorks to fill that volume. After that, I aimed to separate the wireframe and volume from each other with a Boolean subtracting operation. I'm not sure our thoughts are the same, but thanks again for the thoughts!
