Mass Flow Inlet

Velocity

The velocity is specified as:

(126)

where is the specified mass flow rate and is the specified flow angle. The mass flow rate may be specified either directly or as a flux (that is, mass flow rate per unit area).

Pressure

For supersonic inflow, the specified static pressure is used. For subsonic flow, the boundary face static pressure is extrapolated from the adjacent cell using reconstruction gradients.

Temperature

The static temperature is obtained from the specified total temperature using the isentropic definition of total enthalpy.
