Hi,

I am doing simulation on nozzle and diffuser and I need to find the pressure loss coefficient,which the formula will be:
kd=(vb/va)
where vb is inlet velocity and va is outlet velocity

The Vb and Va is the variable calculated form comsol.

may i ask is it possible to insert (vb/va) function in comsol and to calculate for Kd?

Thanks.

Hi

You define your new variable kd as Vb/Va and then you plot the value kd over the region you want

--
Good luck

Thanks Ivar,
but my problem is Va is velocity at the entrance(inlet boundary) while Vb is velocity at exit (outlet boundary).

I have tried to go for boundary expression,where i select
inlet boundary=Va
outlet boundary=Vb

then go to gloabl expression ,kd= (Vb/Va)
but when I plot using cross section plot, I type in Kd at expression,
It give me blank graph.

Issit possible to have mean velocity at Va and Vb as the velocity value varies along the vertical line. (laminar flow)

thanks.
