Hi there, managed to get my simulation to run, i based it loosely off of SimScale’s ‘Advanced Tutorial: Fluid Flow Simulation through a Centrifugal Pump’.
I want to get the flow rate of the fluid in L/min in my outlet and I’m struggling to find anything related to it other than pressure and velocity. Is there a function to get an area average that displays the flow of the water in the pump?
TIA
Charlie
Hello Charlie, and thanks for reaching out to us via the forum!
Have you tried creating an Area Integral result control item at the outlet? This should help you monitor the flow rate at the outlet, but this item must be created prior to the simulation run to be available in the results.
Another alternative is to use the Statistics option in the post-processor. Ensure that you are visualizing the Velocity values in the Parts Color filter. Clicking on the outlet face with the Statistics option should give you the flow rate value as follows:
Let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi Kaany,
thanks so much that’s really helped
