In most cases the inlet boundary conditions appear, some of them slightly modified, in the Outlet type as well. This means that there is nothing in the mathematical formulations to prevent a fluid from leaving the domain through boundaries where the Inlet type is specified.

For Mass flow rate, enter a value or expression for the Mass flow rate qm,0 (SI unit: kg/s). The default is 0 kg/s.

For Volumetric flow rate, enter a value or expression for the Volumetric flow rate qv,0 (SI unit: m3/s). The default is 0 m3/s.

For Standard flow, SCCM, enter a value for standard cubic centimeters per minute. The standard pressure and standard temperature as well as mean molar mass are required as inputs as well. A standard cubic centimeter of gas is the amount of molecules occupying a cubic centimeter at a specified standard temperature and pressure, calculated by the ideal gas law. When used in the oil and gas industry, the standard is often 15 degrees C and 100 kPa, but there are many other slightly different standard conditions used in other circumstances. The inlet velocity calculation is done according to

For Pump, enter a value for the External pressure pext (SI unit: Pa) and define the relationship between the head and the volumetric flow rate— Pump curve data, or User defined.

|
For Reservoir, enter values for reservoir density and pressure. Select a Entrance type — Projecting (K = 1) (the default), Sharp edged (K = 0.5), Rounded (K = 0.05), or User- defined loss coefficient.
