4.8.1. Flow Inlet

Set the conditions at the flow inlet (BS_1).

  1. Select Zero wall velocity (vn=vs=0) along BS_1 from the list in the Flow boundary conditions menu, and then click the Modify button; alternatively, you can simply double-click Zero wall velocity (vn=vs=0) along BS_1 with the mouse.

  2. Select the Inflow option from the list.

    Ansys Polydata will prompt you for the volumetric flow rate or mass flow rate, as shown in Figure 4.16: Specifying the Flow Rate at the Inlet.

  3. Enter 10 as the New value and click OK.

  4. Specify the method and type of flow rate (mass or volumetric).

    In this case, keep the default type, Volumetric flow rate.
