mass balance

Post by dimier »

Hi,
What are the ways to extract through Elmer fluxes over a predefined surface?
Best regards

Hi Alain

One way is to use the SaveScalars solver (see Models Manual) with the operator "convective flux" that computes the integral over the normal component of velocity on a given boundary (or set of boundaries).
